on our week off

Peter was on vacation last week - his weeks off are always exciting because he gets a break from the daily pre-5am wake up call and from working looong days, and I get to have him around a lot - I like being able to do things together, like (what I assume) normal people do on a regular basis. Except we're like normal people on hyperdrive because we try to cram into one week all the stuff we've been wanting to do together for the last few months...

We:

• went to our first baseball game of the year

• ran a 5k race 

• did a whole bunch of yard work together

fully availing ourselves of the free spring brush pick up service - this part was all Peter

• had dessert with one of the other interns & his wife

• went out for breakfast with one of the other residents & his wife

• drove to Michigan and spent some time at my parents' cottage (reading for fun, relaxing, lots of playing with Ginger at the beach and taking walks, eating waffles for breakfast - good stuff like that)

Peter: "do you want the stick?" Ginger: "YES"

• had dinner with both of our families

• helped my parents use some extra tickets they had for Friday night: Peter went with my dad and brother to the Red Wings playoff game (they won!), and I went with my mom to the symphony

• shopped at the outlet mall

• ate at Chipotle

• did more yard work together 

Oh, and Peter also got in a round of golf with my dad, and despite his 11-month hiatus (doctors are stereotypically golfers, but doctors in training have no time for such things...) got his best score ever. Plus, since there's really no escaping work entirely, Peter also did a bunch of medical-y reading, and I worked a couple hours every day.

Impressive how much stuff you can fit in a week when one of you is not spending it all at the hospital (ahem)... it was a lovely week together.
