Yesterday turned out to be a great family day. We got up early and headed over to Falls Church, Va for the NVPOM Spring Consignment Sale. It was our first time going to this event and I must say that I was very impressed. The event was organized from event security all the way down to checkout. It was clear that they had been doing this for quite some time. Most of the items were in good condition and priced fairly reasonably.

We didn't find a bed or a baby walker which were the two big things we wanted to get from this sale. There were several vendors who were selling jewelry, cupcakes and cookies, etc; and there were other vendors providing valuable information and free samples. We got 2 containers of Chipmunk's soy formula, thanks Gerber :).

We ended the day a one of my favorite places... Joe's Crab Shack. My son had a blast playing with the other kids in the play area and I had a blast sinking my teeth into one of their delicious steam pot, yummy. One interesting thing I learned is that while my husband and I can share almost any dish, we CANNOT share a steam pot. Or should I say we can't share and my husband live to talk about it. He devoured all of the snow crabs and other goodies. His excuse was that he thought I didn't want any. Here I was thinking he was the sweetest thing for giving me his share of the lobster (the pot came with two); but what he was really doing was keeping me preoccupied from his devouring ways lol.

Going to Joe's really made me wish Spring would hurry and get here. I can't wait for warm weather activities and attire. Cue flip-flops and tank tops.


What did you do this weekend?
