Take Me Downtown

We have lived in Orlando for the past 6 months, 3 of them I was pregnant - but I am proud to say I have now been out in Downtown Orlando experiencing the city, sort of, kind of.

We are lucky enough to have people in the area that we love & trust to watch baby Caroline. It has allowed us to get out twice for a few hours and let loose. Being out on the town is a rare thing for us seeing as how we're new parents. (Mommy & Daddy deserve a little alone time every now & then).
We have made a few friends through Joseph's job, and lucky for me, they have girlfriends! Woo!

Our first night out, we went to a bar in Downtown Orlando called the Underground Public House. Bomb Dot Com food. I'm such an adult now, I go out for appetizers not just drinks. We watched the Final Four over food & drinks. It was nice mingling with other full-sized humans. Although, guilty as charged, I had to check in on my mini after an hour :) #momlife

The 2nd night was one for the books 1st NBA Game for this chick. We went to a Magic v Wizards game. It was nothing short of exciting. We met Bo Outlaw. (For those of you who aren't aware of who that is, don't feel bad, I didn't either. I quickly educated myself though. He played for the Los Angeles Clippers, the Phoenix Suns, the Memphis Grizzlies and of course, the Orlando Magic.) Kind of a big deal - super cool guy.
We had a lot of fun sitting VIP - the staff make you feel so important. That's right 1st NBA game & VIP at that. Hash tag ballin' ...... (excuse me while I chuckle to myself). I was excited though. We met some awesome people, ate and drank at the awesome VIP lounge and saw a great game. Now, the magic lost but I was more there for the experience anyway.
Now that I've been out and met some people, escaped my homebody life...maybe this city isn't so bad after all.

I wonder what else it has in store for us.
