A change would do you good!

For once, I'm not talking about my hair color :) The Nemec's have made a BIG change!!! We have sold the Bin! Yup, you see correctly. We sold it. I no longer have to share my husband with a bar! While we did love Bin 82 and have great memories there, it just didn't fit into our lives anymore. It is difficult enough to be a young married couple owning a bar, but to have an infant AND a bar was impossible! Nick was missing out on a lot of Brixon's important milestones, and that was really affecting both of us. We received a great offer, and we accepted! Nick has started his own wine distribution company, Big Crush Distribution, and is headed out to Napa in a week to select the vineyards he will be representing. Yeah, 10 days in Napa for "work." Rough life :)
In Brixon news, he started waving "bye-bye" and clapping a couple of weeks ago. He loves laughing at Wrigley, and playing basketball with his baby basketball hoop!! So far, he says ga-ga, da-da, a-tah, ma-ma, ba-ba and ya-ya (he learned them in that order...yes, da came before ma somehow!) We're still working on crawling, though....which both me and my breakables are okay with :)

Do we really have to go back home?!

Last weekend, we decided to head up to Orlando for four days. Even though it's only a two hour drive, we always feel like we're on vacation when we go. As crazy busy and touristy as it is, I absolutely love it! This time, we stayed at the Walt Disney World Dolphin. When we got there, we went and had lunch next door to the hotel at Disney's Boardwalk, then headed back to the pool and brought Brixy swimming. He loves being in the pool, and this was no exception! After an afternoon of swimming and a much needed nap, we took the shuttle over to Disney Marketplace, where we had dinner at T-Rex. It was actually a really cool dinosaur themed restaurant similar to Rainforest Cafe. They had different sections, like underwater and ice age. The section we were in was under a sky that had a meteor shower every 2o minutes, and Brixon actually slept through two of them! The restaurant also had a cotton candy martini. Yes. A combination of two things I love. Unfortunately, it wasn' t that great. But it was a good idea :) After Brix woke up, we walked him around to see the big fish tank and the baby triceratops that I swear he thought was Wrigley. We walked around Downtown Disney a little before heading back to the hotel. On Saturday, we went to SeaWorld. Although it sounds like a stellar idea to bring an 8-month old to a theme park on a 95 degree holiday weekend, it wasn't...alright, I exaggerate. He was actually very good. But it was ridiculously hot. We had the intention of getting back in the pool when we got back to the hotel, but ended up taking a nap instead! Mimi and Grandpa watched Brixon that night while Nick and I headed out on a date!!! We had dinner at Narcoossee's at the Grand Floridian, and watched the Magic Kingdom fireworks from our table. It was such a great night! On Sunday, we all went to the Gospel Brunch at the House of Blues. We loved it, and so did Brixon! He was so excited, and wouldn't hold still with all of the gospel music playing!! After that, we walked around Celebration a little bit, then went swimming again. We went to dinner at the Boardwalk that night, and walked around watching the street magicians. Monday morning, we went to Disney Marketplace one more time (and had ice cream sundaes at 10:30 am!), before heading back home (very reluctantly!) As always, we had so much fun. Can't wait to go back!
