Staycation

Instead of vacation this year Clint and I decided we would do a staycation. For one we have both been on the road so much this year that we just wanted to be at home for a while. Secondly, when we were trying to plan a vacation we could never decide what we wanted to do. So home it was. As boring as it sounds it was actually really nice and we saved a ton of money!! Even though we had "staycation" we did do a lot with the kids this past week. To start off our vacation Mathu and Bonnie watched the kids on Saturday night while we did restaurant week with Mom, Dad, Steven and Amber. We tried Nana that night which was YUCKO..definitely not my kind of food. Then on Sunday morning we headed downtown and when the Aquarium, it was fun and they had lots to see. Dylan's favorite things were the Sharks, Crocodile and Panther. Monday and Tuesday it rained all day so we did a little shopping at the Galleria and hung around the house. Then on Wednesday we ventured out again to the Ft. Worth Zoo. That was a lot of fun also and the rain actually stopped that afternoon long enough for us all to enjoy it. It was definitely right up Dylan and Sydney's alley. Despite what Dylan might tell you I think he had the most fun feeding the birds. We ended the week actually getting to use the pool and with one more night out for restaurant week and to celebrate Dad's birthday at the Oceanaire restaurant (which was much better than Nana). The kids stayed at Mathu and Bonnie's again and were like little zombies the next day since they stayed up so late that night. All in all it was a good week off with the kids...too bad it had to end.
