Roadtrip!!

We did it!  We loaded up our minivan and headed south to San Antone for the weekend.  It had been at least 2 years since I'd seen my good friends, Kelly and Stephanie, and even longer than that for Jared.  A reunion was most definitely in order!

Thursday morning we packed, loaded Lila, Maddie, Jackson and Cameron into the van and took off.  Things were not going so well at first, with Lila asking the requisite "are we getting close yet?" only an hour into the drive. Ten minutes later, she asked again.  When I said "no, we've got a ways to go," she said, "but I'm huuuungry! Why didn't we just take a plane to San Antonio?"  Jared and I laughed and then told her it was gonna be a long day.  She turned on Frozen, though, and all was right in her world.

Then 30 minutes later we were at this Burger Shack in Meridian, Tx.  They had one guy working the grill and he knew his stuff.  Those burgers were greasy and good!

After we chowed down, the kids got to pick out some ice cream, too. 

Then we hopped back in the car and took off.  We rolled down the backroads of 67 and 281.  Jackson was watching a movie, but also had the map in his right hand the whole time.  He made sure he knew where we were at all times.  We only stopped one other time, to feed Cami and let everyone go potty, and then we arrived in SA!

Right after we dropped our bags in our room, we went and found Danny, Kelly and their sweet little girl Kennedy.  They had never met Cami and she took to them right away, even letting Kelly hold her for a while!

We took the kids out to explore our hotel and all of us loved it right away.  Such sweet girls!

The Hyatt Hill Country was so cool!  

While I fed Cami, Kelly took the girls around and they did lots of gymnastics.  Danny took Jackson with him and they found a TV in the lobby with SportsCenter on it.  Jackson had found his new BFF for the weekend!

Since nobody wanted to do more driving, we stayed at the hotel for dinner.

While we were waiting for our table, Kennedy snapped some candids:)

And since it was vacation afterall, we even took the kids for some night swimming at 9:45 that night.  They loved it!  Next up, our adventures at Sea World.
