Time with my Parents

My parents have been visiting here for the month. It's so great to have them here this long, because we can take time to breathe rather than trying to fit everything into one week.

But the best thing is that we've been able to fit in time for coffees....


...breakfasts, meeting up for drinks after work, baking cookies, walks....

 ....and shopping.

I never get to shop with my mom. We went a couple times and had a blast.  We bought the same jeans, (!!) my Mom found everything she needed, we stopped for a beer and got home and had a fashion show for my dad. So fun.

Last weekend I took Mom for High Tea at The Empress for her birthday. I think this is the perfect thing to do with your mom. I've been three times now and it's such a treat. She had the best time - it was so fun.
 
 
They're leaving this weekend and we are all so sad about it. Sigh...well, at least now we have FaceTime with their new laptop!

Glad that you had a great time with your parents. It's amazing you got to spend a month with them. I'm sure you'll miss them lots.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - High Tea at the Empress is amazing!

That sounds awesome! Have you ever tried high tea at the Ellice Point House? I hear it's supposed to be good as well (and half the price!), but I've never been to either...
