walking walking walking

Isaac and I had quite the adventure yesterday. Gabe was at a playdate at a friend's house, and so I had the morning to myself with the baby. One of the first things I decided to do was walk to the Head Start building to turn in Gabe's application, not realizing exactly how far away the place was because I was reading the address on the application wrong (I thought it said "7th Avenue E," but it was actually "7th Avenue EN"). I put Zac in the Ergo in the front-carry and headed out.

I walked and walked (I love walking), until I got to 7th Avenue E, except there was no such thing! (Obviously, I still do not know my way around this place well enough) But I think, it's got to be around here somewhere; maybe this is is just a dead end and I have to go around a few blocks to get there...So I tried that, and still no luck. Finally, I looked at the address again and realized my mistake...By this point, my back was getting really sore from carrying the baby, but I had no other choice at thas point.

After A LOT of backtracking, I finally found myself in the North end, and I got to 7th Ave. EN, but was still having trouble finding the place. I finally called Nick (thank goodness for cell phones!) and he told me I was *right there,* all I had to do was take a right...So I did, and found the building. *phew* I decided to rest there for a while before heading back home.

The walk back wasn't as bad, since I knew where I was going...But I was pretty exhausted by the time I got back home...after nearly an hour and a half of walking with the baby in tow...But, I guess it's good to know I'm in good enough shape to handle it :D
