my secret to a refreshed monday morning.

i've realized that in order for me to wake up feeling refreshed on a monday morning, is not necessary to stay home all day sunday just kicking back and getting chores done.
no. that won't do it at all. the secret is, to enjoy sunday with your family being out and about but in a laid back sort of way. i'm not talking about running errands, getting groceries done and oil changes. but instead just enjoying, really enjoying the day. breathing in the fresh crisp air, enjoy the goodness the day has to offer.
the weather was so delicious and we needed to get out. there was a music festival going on, so the streets were pretty crowded in the area we had originally planned on being around. instead of hustling through people with three kiddos in tow, we decided to have some lunch in an open area. and people watch of course. well that's just me. people are interesting beings, i tell you. but i digress..
and oh my goodness when i tell you i had the best tacos, there's not a pint sized possibility of a lie there. they were the best. i had a mr. orange taco, which is blackened salmon with grilled corn and black bean relish with queso fresco and avocado lime sauce. soooooo yummy.
and of course when you allow gluttony to take over and your pants begin to cut off your circulation, the best idea is to go for a walk.
we chose to just stroll through the capitol grounds. it was perfect. peaceful and quiet with just the right amount of sun, and the perfect little breeze. plus with so much open space, the kids were able to just run to their little heart's delight.
we weren't even out all day, just the afternoon, but it was just enough to enjoy each other and come back home feeling refreshed ready for monday. and there you have it. that's my secret.

how did you spend your weekend?
