Well, I guess it’s not really the last of us, but it was the last vacation of “just the four of us.”<\/p>\n

We headed an hour away to a hotel,<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
[All children must ride on hotel luggage racks before they grow up.]\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

enjoyed the pool,<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0“We’re going to the pool!!! YAY!!!”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0My skinny muscle man and lovin’-the-pool Abi.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0She would not stop laughing. =)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
[I put the camera down and piggy-backed the children with Matt for a half hour of glamorously freezing swimming. But the kids loved every second of it.]<\/div>\n

and stayed up late watching football together on the big king-sized bed while eating popcorn and special snacks the girls picked from a nearby gas station. We laughed, the girls did some bed jumping, and then they fell asleep around 9:30p on the pull-out sofa bed.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Abi’s zonked. <\/div>\n
[P.S. Dry pool noodles make EXCELLENT temporary bed rails when placed tightly under the bottom sheet. No one had any problems falling out and my kids can be violent sleepers.]<\/div>\n

The next morning we decided to go to COSI, an awesome children’s science museum. We got in free with our local children’s museum passes gifted to us this past Christmas from the grandparents.<\/p>\n

The girls ran amuck, enjoying all they could soak in and we even enjoyed some lunch down in the cafeteria.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Kitchen play with Daddy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Mmmm, serve up the plastic goodness.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Off and on goes the X-ray viewer. =D<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Poor baby.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Tragic. \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Excellent nursing.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a01800’s town.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0And now the same town in the 1960’s.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Working at the local diner.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Riding a rocket on the “street”. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0Hula-hoops in front of the “old” post office. <\/div>\n

We loaded up a little after 1:30p and found ourselves back at home by 3pm.<\/p>\n

It was a wonderful last get-away of just the four of us before we all welcome Ms. Hannah Joy to the family soon.<\/p>\n

Oh the delights of two small girls soaking in the utter excitement of what so many pass by as commonplace.<\/p>\n

We all had a wonderful time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
