Road Trip Weekend

We got back this evening from a four-day road trip, but we covered a lot of ground in our travels. We left early Thursday morning to visit my grandma in Pittsburgh. We spent time with Grandma Thursday afternoon, took her out to dinner that evening, then after we dropped her off, we headed to the hotel to let the kids run out a lot of pent up energy. Even though it was 7:30 by the time we got checked in the hotel, we changed into bathing suits and swam in the pool until 9:00 that night. The kids had so much energy to get out, and after swimming and a warm shower, they actually fell asleep that night.

We got up early Friday morning, took breakfast to Grandma, had a short visit, then got on the road to head up to Cincinnati, Ohio where we met Mark's sister and her family, along with Mark's dad and stepmom, at the Great Wolf Lodge. It was our first time visiting one of those hotels, and we loved it. We had a great time playing and visiting with family.

We left the lodge Sunday morning and drove the 8+ hour trip straight home. It felt really good to be out of the car by Sunday evening, but we had great visits with family and enjoyed our time away! A view from inside the water park
