DalrympleClanAdventures: Winter Break Getaway

This week Jack had winter break at school. We took the time off to go visit my Aunt Jean and Uncle Dick in Virginia. The boys had never been there yet and were quite excited. They kept asking when it was time to go to Virginia!!

So Tuesday we headed up. The drive up was actually pleasant. We left in the morning after a workout at the gym. Sean took a short nap before we stopped for lunch near Concord, NC. The big boys took short naps after lunch. Sean was too busy looking around to nap. We managed to make only one other stop at a rest area for a potty break. We arrived by 3:30. The boys were excited, but still a little tired due to their short naps.

They had tons of fun checking out their new surrounding and showing off. Their favorite discovery was Boots. She is a cat and they have so little experience with cats. They all loved petting her dearly, following her around and playing with her toys. Sean in particular was super fond of her!!

While we were there we were truly spoiled. THANKS!!!! It was a break not having to cook or clean! We ate lots of yummy food (especially my favorites like chicken salad, deviled eggs, chocolate pie and lasagna). We visited with several people. The boys went to a bounce house and had lots of fun (as did I)!! They played in the backyard (the weather was fabulous).

All in all it was an excellent getaway. The boys behaved pretty well (just one or two meltdowns), they slept relatively well (skipped some naps though and had one rough night, but what can you expect when away from home) and we just had tons of fun. THANKS FOR SO MUCH FUN AUNT JEAN AND UNCLE DICK.

No sooner were we down the road and Jack was asking "Does Uncle Dick know where our house is? Can he come visit us?" You truly made an impression on the boys and they can't wait to see you again. Come visit us and we'll spoil ya'll!!
