Vacation!

Vacation! Finally! This past week was busy with the conference and I was exhausted. It is over and was a success. Yesterday, I woke up, posted my 3 substantive posts and we left home by 9:00 am...picked up Jfer on the way out of town. The kids got their morning busy bags (snacks and a small toy or book) around Houston. We ate lunch at...wait for it...Cracker Barrel and the kids napped for a while. Upon waking, the kids got their afternoon busy bag and we got to the hotel around 5:00 pm. The hotel has this great 1 foot deep kids' pool with lots of fountains in it, so we all put on our suits and got some energy out.

We ate dinner at Sicily's Italian Buffet...which was actually pretty good. After dinner, the kids went to bed and then I worked on my University of Phoenix class, Jfer registered to win a free house and DH watched I Am Legend on tv. We all ended up watching I Am Legend and Jfer had to sing God is Bigger Than the Boogy Man so that she could fall asleep!

This morning, we got up, ate the wonderful breakfast at the hotel and were on the road by 9:15. We stopped in Pensacola for lunch at...Cracker Barrel and then PJ took a nap, but LJ did not. We stopped a few more times than we did yesterday, but made it to Port St. Joe by 5:15 (6:15 Eastern Time). We ate dinner at Joe Momma's Pizza...where they do not have cups with lids nor do they have straws??? ...the pizza was good though! A stop at McDonald's for milk chubs for the morning and we were on our way to the Cape. We got to our house and got the car unpacked, figured out the tv and then headed to the beach as the sun was setting. PJ fell down and busted his knee, we got bit by mosquitoes, BUT - we can't wait to play in the gulf tomorrow.

We've made our grocery list, know where to rent our boogy boards and plan to go to the grocery store and then play, play, play tomorrow!
