Road Trip

Our Spring Break vacation was a one-day trip to Austin. One of my good high school friends got married on Friday so we decided to make it a mini-family vacation.

We left early in the morning, and the boys and I got about an hour nap. We made really good time and got there over an hour before the wedding! To pass the time, we took in the scenery and took some pictures!

Carter is saying "cheese."

Some family shots

Loving on little brother :o)

So cute.

And finally the wedding began...

The bride and her dad

The ceremony was very nice; the vows were beautifully written.

Here are the bridesmaids.

We enjoyed a nice luncheon after the ceremony. Fortunately for us, there was a park right outside the restaurant. We made frequent trips during the course of the meal for Carter to have a chance to run around outside. Sitting in the car for 3 hours plus having to be "good" at the wedding...by lunch he was at his limit of sitting still.

We didn't stay and do any sight-seeing after lunch. We figured it would be more advantageous for us to start the drive home during Carter's nap so he would be asleep for half of the trip home. But we did stop at Brenham and check out the Blue Bell factory. The boys enjoyed their ice cream!

Stretching their legs and having races.

Caleb kept wanting to use the camera to take pictures. We finally let him take a picture of Matt and I. Pretty good as I only had to do minor cropping.

Not the most exciting vacation for the kids, but it was a chance to get away and break up the routine. It's always fun to be together as a family.
