Way behind on posts, but I'll do my best to catch up soon!
The Friday of our vacation Cody and I were rushing to get out the door because we were excited to see the Terra Cotta Warrior exhibit at the Bowers and didn't want to be late. I grabbed the tickets from my nightstand as I was brushing my teeth and did a double take. CRAP! They were for THURSDAY!
My desk calendar, Google calendar, Blackberry, and blog all had notes that our museum tickets were for 10:00am on Thursday, yet for whatever reason we had it in our heads that they were for FRIDAY.
A million different thoughts and were racing through my head – we were looking forward to this for weeks, do we go and see if they’ll let us in with our old tickets, do we bite the bullet and spend $50 on new tickets, LittleK took the time and effort to get these for us, how could we be so stupid, I had it written down EVERYWHERE that it was for THURSDAY not FRIDAY, we were lazy bums and did absolutely nothing the day before, how did we not know it was THURSDAY, so on and so forth.
The clock was ticking and now there was a chance we'd be late to the 10:00am entrance. If we couldn't make the right day, the least we could do is make the right time. We were hoping we could speak with someone at the museum, explain our situation, and they'd take pity on our sheer patheticness and let us in with our expired tickets.
My heart dropped when we arrived because the museum was crowded, the exhibit was packed, and I was sure they wouldn't let us in, but the woman at the front desk was kind enough to change the date on our tickets and let us join the crowd that was already inside. I seriously wanted to jump over the partition and hug her, but I think that would've been a tad inappropriate and she may have retracted her offer.
There was a no photo policy inside the exhibit, so the following photos are from the Bowers website.
Vacation Thursday was a day of sleeping in and tons of naps. We were totally lazy and stayed in our pjs the whole time. Cody and I totally loved that day and definitely needed the relaxation. Little did we know we let something big fall through the cracks.
Wednesday of our vacation HotNurse stopped by to check out our new place (yay for our first non-family visitor!) and say her goodbyes before she drove across the country back home to Minnesota.
It was so strange showing her around and totally taking in the fact that we’re home owners. Wasn't it just a few years ago that we were freaking out over college applications and how we'd actually pay for school if we managed to get in?
