Let the games begin!

Well we had a great day-cation in Raleigh, it was as bit crazy and busy but we had so much fun! We didn't get to see Carl as much as I would have like but oh well there is always the next vacation right he hehee. We left on Thursday afternoon and hit the lego store. Caitlin and Nathan both got straight A's on their report cards and Owen did good in behavior which is always rewarded in these parts. We met Aunt Susan at the mall, we hit the lego store and then the kids let me shop for about 12 minutes before they started complaining that they were hungry.... Well money saving they are for sure. 12 minutes was just enough time for Aunt Susan to help me pick out three awesome outfits so it was a win for sure.  Here are some pictures of our trip!

 Everyone loves the Lego store, Caitlin was with Susan when I took this picture but she got a treat too.

 Dinner at the Cheesecake Factory! Yummy!

 Caitlin and I had to take our cheesecake to go we were too full and we had an aweseome hotel waiting for us.

 The most fun of any "cation" as Owen likes to call it.. opening the door!

 Oh did I mention the indoor pool was so warm, even mommy got to swim!

 Yummy breakfast!

 French toast my favorite

 Another fun part of the city, riding the escalators... so much fun to be had!

Our last stop was the museum of science in Raleigh....
