Weekend Vacation!

We left for a weekend getaway today after Mike got off work.  Mark, Angela, and Jayden are meeting us in San Antonio for a weekend at Sea World!  Mike was driving (so I didn't take his picture)...but here's me excited to have a weekend getaway!

Here's Brody excited about seeing his cousin and going to Sea World...

And here's Barrett...just chillin'...

The drive to San Antonio was full of excitement.  Yes, we made 3 stops (on our 5 hour journey...1 to eat and 2 potty breaks), but the boys did really well on the car trip.  The big excitement happened when we hit San Antonio.  Just 8 miles from the hotel (which is AWESOME!!! - Thanks Ann!!!) we ran into some unavoidable construction.  There wasn't an exit that we could take, so we had to sit and wait.  It took us 1.5 hours to go .5 miles turning our 5 hour trip into a 6.5 hour trip!  They have 4 lanes of highway traffic going down to one lane to exit and use the access road (which is also under construction and has gone from 3 lanes to 1).  It was frustrating to be soooo close to the hotel yet move only inches closer every minute. 

We finally arrived at the hotel and now the boys are sleeping soundly.  We're all excited about the fun that awaits us at Sea World tomorrow!
