Family Vacation

So, I'm a little behind. OVER a month ago, we went on a family vacation. We don't vacation much, so a 14 hour car ride with 2 kids was a new experience. We survived... actually we thrived! Dan drove, I took care of the kids and we made excellent time and we were all happy!

We stopped to visit friends in Indiana on our way to North Carolina. Jack loved playing outside with his friends. Dan played outside with all of the kids, kicking a soccer ball. It got stuck in the tree and that was Jack's favorite thing! He still talks about going to play with our friends and kicking the soccer ball in the tree.


Then we headed to North Carolina to visit Dan's parents and sister. They live on a golf course, so there was a lot of relaxing!

A much needed nap- usually I got kids sleeping, so this was a nice sight to see when I went to check on the status. Notice Dan holding Mickey close. :)
Dan got to check North Carolina off of his Frisbee Golf list! Jack loved to go "ding ding ding" in the baskets.
This is actually the car ride there. Jack slept through our lunch stop, so we got him a bonus cheeseburger towards the end of the driving day. We had a fancy mini-van with the pull down DVD player and Jack was in HEAVEN- or "I'm the boss" mode at this point!

And Nora was there too!

Obviously the camera didn't come out much, but we had a great time! Dan golfed 3 times, I took a nap every day and got to go see the old buildings at Pinehurst. We went out to eat and just enjoyed relaxing, playing pool, and watching movies. It was wonderful!
