Our first day "unplugged"

We have decided to spend Sundays unplugged...No computers, no TV...Just us and some books, board games, parks, and the backyard
Yesterday was our first unplugged day. Like most other things, it didn't go quite as planned. We knew, obviously, that it was an open house day. We had planned on going to Chocolate World (one of our favorite free outings) then to the Disney Store Outlet to get Wyatt a prize for sleeping in his own bed for a week. What we didn't plan on was a certain mischevious (albeit adorable) 4 year old undoing everything as we were doing it. So, in desperation, we put in a movie for him to watch so we could get things done.
We finished everything, and off we went to Chocolate World. Had a great time (as always). We came home, and it was so funny...we kinda sat there and stared at each other. If we weren't on our computers, what were we doing? It really reinforced WHY we were unplugging. We started talking, then went outisde to play in the water.
I'm glad we spent a day with no TV or computers. (Well, almost no TV) It was nice. Dare I say...even peaceful.
