I left work early to make it to the park before picking up the baby, but that was in vain because I got stuck in traffic due to some accident in the neighborhood between my job and the entrance to the expressway. I made up the time with the lack of traffic, but was disheartened when I arrived at the park and saw a signn that said, "For shelter reservations, call ***-***-****. 9am-4pm." But luck was on my side because I called and I could see the park employees inside the office. Turns out the sign needs to be updated, they are open till 6, just as I was told over the phone.
All this to say, the park has been reserved, and party planning is under way! =)
