Spring Break Fun

About 2 weeks ago I thought that our Spring Break was going to consist of relaxing and cleaning. Then, Todd asked me if we wanted to go with him on a business trip to Austin. It didn't take me long to say yes! When I told Dylan that he was going to get to stay in a hotel, go swimming, and fly on an airplane, he said, "Oh boy!" I love it when he still says that! I was a little worried about traveling with Derek on the airplane b/c of his ears. His pediatrician gave him some antibiotics to treat his red eardrum. He did awesome! He never cried or complained. We really tried to get him to drink out of his cup or suck his thumb as we took off.

We kind of packed a little too much. I guess when I was packing, I wasn't really thinking about us flying. We had to take 2 car seats, 2 big suitcases, Todd's computer, a little bed for Derek and 2 carry on bags. It was definitely a load full! It looked like we were going to be gone for an entire week. I had to be prepared though! It was even worse coming back because I had gone shopping!! Now I know why we drive.

We got to stay at the Embassy Suites in Austin. It was absolutely beautiful! Dylan loved looking at the coy fish in the pond. The swimming pool was heated and big and Dylan just boo hooed when he had to get out on the last night there. While Todd was in his meetings, the boys and I went to breakfast, went swimming, and shopped. I literally wore my boys out shopping! Dylan fell asleep in the car before I even backed the car out. It was a wonderful spring break. It was a little hard with Todd being gone all day but we had fun. I got to visit with my college roommate Natalie and her husband and kids. Dylan absolutely loves playing with her 3 kids.

I realized how much fun we will have with our boys in the years to come!
