Mommy Day Off

It doesn't happen often but when a mommy day off happens it is a splendid thing. On Saturday my friend Laura (a fellow mommy) and I took the day off from being mommies and headed to Dresden for the day. We laughed at the beginning of our adventure that we hadn't come laden with bags filled with drinks and snacks. It was so nice to just walk out the door and not worry about forgetting anything. I had read about this milk shop. It is in the guiness book of world records as the most beautiful milk shop in the world. Now, I don't know how many milk shops are up for that award but I was curious so we went to check it out. The ground floor where the cheese shop is is really stunning. It is floor to ceiling villeroy & Boch tiles. It is actually a bit overwhleming. The upstairs is a restaurant which we decided to try for lunch. We each got a cheese plate that had cheeses from around the world which were delicious. We also both had a vanilla milk shake which was to die for! It was really all I could do not to just drink it down in one gulp. After a great lunch which was leisurely without worrying about getting the check before the kids melt down, we headed into town. We took a peek at the old town and then hit the shops. To browse, I mean really browse, was great. I did find a few nice things but the enjoyment wasn't in the buying it was really in the leisurely looking. We decided to have dinner before heading home since we wanted to make the most of our day off. We ended up at a pizza place that was basically a pizza hut knock off. When I first walked in it had that pizza hut smell but I just figured it is a pizza place but when our pan pizzas came they tasted just like pizza hut! It was a great day off and I am looking forward to doing it again!
