Memorial Day Weekend part II (Road Trip day 2)

And it's on to day 2 of the road trip! We woke up in the morning around 6:30 and got ready, then walked over to the continental breakfast. Tyler went to help take down the tent at the reception site, and the kids and I, along with Tyson and Breanne went on a Starbucks run. When Tyler got back, we packed up and left, going straight to the Airfield winery. I stayed in the car with the kids (due for diaper changes and feedings) while everyone else went in and tasted wine. The boys and I joined them for the last 10 minutes, and Wayne enjoyed looking at the airplanes, while Weston just smiled at anyone who would look at him. From here, we high-tailed it out of town, heading to Leavenworth (or however you spell that!) It was around 2 1/2 hours. Wayne got about a 30 minute nap in, which at least was good. We ate lunch together, then cruised the town for an hour or saw, and finally got ice cream before leaving again. With one final pit stop at Starbucks, we were home before 8pm. Again, Tyler and I couldn't believe how well both kids did in the car. We saw some amazing sights, and had a wonderful time. We realize now that it is possible to do overnight trips, and we are talking of at least doing one more this summer. Hey, who doesn't love some good old fashioned family fun?

Watching a movie... again! Bajema and Tyler both found a wine they liked, the same one! Mom found a cute sweatshirt/jacket there too.

The whole gang, minus Tara who is taking the photo. Wayne is still asleep in my arms, and Dad has Weston doing a wheely so he can be in the photo too!

Eating lunch... that was a bit of an adventure. The boys were tired of sitting still, and it was pretty warm. Wayne did better when his grilled cheese came though.

Water and ice-cream break before getting out of town. Coldstone Creamery had a huge line, but if you buy ice cream from the freezer, you don't have to wait. I bought two tubs and got a bunch of spoons, and wa-la! Ice cream break on the cheap and in less time!
