It's spring break in the Kansas City area for all of you teaches and kiddos out there. For us mommies on maternity leave, spring break is a great excuse to head out of town with the parents for a few days. For the employed, and actively working (aka my husband), time to cash in some vacation!
Aaron, Whitney, and I went to Branson, Missouri with my parents for a nice Spring get away this past weekend. My parents have a condo in Branson, so the accommodations were great, especially with a newborn. The weather was okay, but for a mommy bound to the house during this winter, it didn't really matter. Whitney and I really enjoyed the change of scenery and some time with my parents.
This was Whitney's longest car ride yet. It takes about 3.5 hours to get to Branson, so as new parents you can only imagine our anticipation to see how she did. Our little lady was pretty much a rock star the entire car ride. She slept great and only stopped to feed and change her diaper once.
We spent 5 days and four nights in Branson and had a great time. The boys spent most of their time fishing on Taneycomo. This is a fly fisherman's toy box. Mom, Whitney, and I did some fishing too, but our stream is called the Tanger Outlet Mall, and our fish are clothes, shoes, etc. I think you get the picture.
While in Branson, we got to celebrate Aaron's 31st Birthday and St. Patrick's Day. It was pretty rainy most of the day, but that didn't dampen anyone'sspirits. The guys went fishing all morning and my mom whipped up Aaron's favorite: fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, etc. I also baked him a double chocolate cake. I have to admit it was pretty amazing. As Aaron would say, it was off the scale on my moan test. Yes, when I really like food, I apparently moan. I just love to eat!
I would say Aaron did pretty well for his birthday! He got some new fishing gear and some clothes. It is crazy to think he is 31. I always give him a hard time about being so much older than me for an entire month. Even though we are another year older, I am loving every minute of it. I never have the desire to go back to a certain age, or period of my life, because I think that life just keeps getting better. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful life. Happy Birthday, Aaron. I love you lots!
If you can't read Whitney's shirt, it says...
"I'm cute,
My Mom is cute,
and my Dad is LUCKY!"
I think that pretty much sums it up!
