i earned a medal.
well, technically no medals were handed out but i earned it in my mind.
i successfully drove round-trip to abilene for the first time since having kids without another adult in the car.
whew. it feels good to have conquered that.
it was worth it for extended time with family and friends that we don't get to hang out with every day.
upon our arrival a piping hot batch of my favorite cookies was coming out of the oven to celebrate.
which was clearly better than a gold-plated medal.
the kids and i stayed four nights and four days at the relaxing luttrell hotel.
we hit up all the hot spots and filled the time with our favorite abilene things.
such as...
the abilene zoo
feeding the catfish
walks around acu campus
digging in the dirt
gardening lessons
extended playtime
make your own cajun cones entertainment
shoulder rides
train rides
visits to great-grandparent houses
tea parties
pajama playtime
late night tetris and movies
who needs the beach at spring break,
when you have abilene?
not us, that's for sure.

You certainly did! And we LOVED it. :)
So glad you had a great Spring Break! It looks like fun!
That does deserve a medal! That long with two kids is not easy, but fun to pick up and go. Sounds like it might be a fun annual tradition. I go visit my mom(in Fort Worth) every year during the Labor Day weekend while Chris goes hunting. I was so scared to make the drive by myself but now look forward to our girls weekend.
I love your closing....and completely agree!! Sounded like a wonderful week!,
you did earn a medal!! thanks for coming...it was priceless.
I'm super impressed you made that trip solo with two littles! Way to go! Love the pics - they all put a huge smile on my face=)
So proud of you!!
What a FUN trip!
Adelaide digging in the dirt with her princess dress on is PRICELESS. :)
