we interrupt this renovation...

we interrupt this renovation for a vacation!

yes indeed. it was definitely time. we drove to dexter, michigan, to spend the weekend with our lovely friends adam and audrey. here they are:



dexter is a pretty little town (er, village) outside of ann arbor. it has lots of stuff like this:



we spent the weekend hanging out, eating great food and playing. the kids were especially enamoured of the STOMP ROCKET, which allowed small foam rockets to be launched to heights that would be the envy of NASA.



of course, some kids--like magritte--also discovered the joys of individual retro sports. like hula hooping.



and roller skating...



all in all, a good time was had by all. except for the part where we had to leave and get back to our world of renos.
and the part where we had to stop at ikea on a sunday afternoon. on the weekend before the 4th of july. when there was a sale on. oh. my. it was not just busy. it was beyond busy. it was as though everyone in the metro area decided to hop into their air-conditioned SUV and head on down to stock up on plastic stuff for the upcoming holiday. yikes.

here's how we felt.



now, back to the reno zone...
