Vacation

This last week we went on vacation. It was a blast. The drive sucked. We went 1300 miles with 2 toddlers. What a drive. We made the drive in 1 1/2 days. It was a long couple days, but it was all worth it. We have learned one thing, Cooper LOVES Barbie. Although we didn't know this til the trip home :(

We left our house at 4am on Saturday and drove for 16 hours. In that time we only made 4 stops, which is great with 2 kids. We stopped for about an hour each time. Our first stop was North Carolina. We stayed there for 3 1/2 days. We went shopping and hung out with his mom and sister. I ate alot of Korean food. I have never ate any of that type of food before. It was good but different.
We left North Carolina on Thursday and we drove up to Grandma's house.

It was only a 4 hour drive to Grandma's from his mom's house. It was a short drive thank goodness. Once we got there we visited with Aunt Chris and grandma. Michael met everyone and we had a great time. Friday we went to Fredericksburg. We went to the Mary Washington House and walked around. We had lunch at this great Italian restaurant, and everyone working there spoke Italian. I thought that was great. The food was excellent.

While we were in Virginia, Cooper decided he wanted to trip and cut his head open. I so thought it needed stitches, but Aunt Chris said it was okay, so we just put a steary (sp) strip on it. It is healing nicely.

We left on Saturday morning. We stopped for the night in Arkansas. We drove for about 14 hours. When we left the next morning, it was snowing. Not just a little but alot. When we got to Dallas there was a huge accident, it was not fun. It took us about another 7 hours to get home.

I am so happy to be home. I slept so good last night. The only thing that sucks about coming home, is having to unpack everything!!

Cooper's boo boo.

Yah it was ALOT of driving in just a week, but it was worth it. I am hoping we can back for Jessie and James wedding. Everyone would like us too, so maybe we will be able too.
