Mini-Holiday Vacay

We were all sick over Christmas break and didn't leave the house. The flu hit us all pretty bad. Once we were finally well, I decided to take the boys for a little mini-getaway just so we could get out of the house and enjoy what was left of their Christmas break.

I found a great deal on a room sat Embassy Suites. We've actually stayed there before, so I knew the pool and breakfast would be perfect.

Our first day/night, our friend's, the Weiners, joined us. Robert is one of Will's bestfriends, so Will was pretty happy to have him there. We met at the Galleria and went Ice Skating. It was fun, but alot of work and the kids didn't last long w/it. We had lunch at Chili's, then to the hotel, then went for a swim. The kids were having a great time.

We also met a really great family on our first night, the Hall's. It just so happened that they had 3 children, the exact ages of mine and my boys LOVED them. Ben and Casey (who is also 10) hit it off great. Then Andy and Jacob (who is also 5) hit it off great. Their middle child, Alexis is 8, like Will. They seemed to play well together - along w/Robert. They all had such a great time. We swam in the pool for quite sometime and the kids had a ball.

The second day/night, the Weiner's left - but we stayed. We actually got together w/the Hall's. We went to Jump Town (an indoor Jump Place) so the kids could play. Everyone had such a great time. Then swam later in the evening. And for our second night, we had to change hotels b/c I only booked one night and there was a big college football game in town and the hotel was full. We stayed at another Embassy Suites just down the road.

The third day/night, we got together w/the Hall's again. We actually went to an indoor trampoline park. Which was a blast. We had never been to one before. It was great exercise and great fun. After that we went to McDonald's for ice-cream and more playtime. Then we all headed back to the hotel. We stayed our third night  back at the first Embassy Suites, so we could be near the Hall's.
