Julie and I both have today off since the U of I is closed for MLK Day. We assumed Cooper's daycare would be closed as well since they follow the local school schedule, but we checked on Saturday an lo-and-behold they were open today. So, being the bad parents we are, we decided to drop Cooper off for a while and enjoy a day of no kiddo and no work. Right now we are sitting at Panera enjoying coffee and bagels.
Afternoon Update: We continued the food theme and went to lunch at Biaggi's, which is a nice Italian restaurant nearby. Naps followed. Thanks Laura and Tom for the gift card!

Oh my gosh . . . it was a wonderful day! I was sitting across from Todd catching up on Thank You notes. I was tempted to check email, but I needed to focus. Lunch was wonderful, and how nice it was to "get away" for a bit. We did pick Cooper up a little early to make ourselves feel better. And I'm sure we were much better parents after our relaxing day. :)
