We love driving places together as a family. In fact the kids will sometimes ask to go for a drive or to take a long and different way home. They truly are their mother's children. I grew up with the slow Sunday drive checking on the progress in the fields. We watched every stage of growth, weeding and harvest, the amount of rainfall and proposed time lines for crop care and harvest. The hope of the Sunday drive was the possibility of ending up at an ice cream store, at a beach or unique destination we hadn't been to in awhile. Our family loved these impromptu adventures.
Although our break wasn't impromptu it did necessitate a drive. Scenery, books and snacks made it all go quite quickly!
Once we arrived the guys took off for an evening out and the girls had some time to do a bit of shopping and then came back to the hotel room to do pedicures, manicures, foot massages and look through American girl doll magazines!
Here are a few images of our time away.
This made Dave VERY, VERY happy!
Fun at Lego World building people.
So many choices!
The aquarium was really amazing!
We had the most amazing sunset on our drive home.
Upon arriving home...
Beautiful gift from my husband.
We were inspired by a friend to make homemade pretzels!
Who knew boiling them was part of the process!
The most fun of having a tea party was talking hockey and using chocolates for hockey players!
