Thankfully He slept the whole time.<\/p>\n<p>The next day Michael was at work and so I fixed us breakfast and then we went downtown. I dropped them off at Powell&#8217;s Books while I took Logan in to work to show him off. \ud83d\ude42 It was kind of weird to be back in the office after a month off but it was also good to go in and see everyone and kind of be back in &#8220;the real world&#8221; even if it was a short visit.<\/p>\n<p>After that we all met Michael at the food carts for lunch. I thought it was the best option with the baby and there&#8217;s so many food carts to choose from I knew our guests would enjoy picking something out they&#8217;d never had before.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49986\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1151-e1461800763386-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1151\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1151-e1461800763386-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1151-e1461800763386-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They all got thai food from E-San and I got a grilled cheese sandwich (with pesto) from The Grilled Cheese Grill.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49985\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1155-e1461800664700-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1155\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1155-e1461800664700-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1155-e1461800664700-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49987\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1152-e1461800923696-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1152\" width=\"695\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1152-e1461800923696-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1152-e1461800923696-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1152-e1461800923696-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49988\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1153-e1461800980409-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1153\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1153-e1461800980409-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1153-e1461800980409-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We walked over to the nearby park and ate lunch while a guy played violin for everyone.
