Family Vacation

Well our family has taken a long overdue family vacation this last weekend. We had not taken a family vacation since before lil man was born. Needless to say we needed a getaway. Since we are expecting Lo in November I am saving up all my vacation time so we just did a weekend trip. It was a lot of fun and did a bunch of different things. Here are some pictures of the trip.

Here are the kids on the way out of town.

We drove by the Speedway and noticed cars going into the tunnel for the infield. So, of course my hubby decided to find out what was going on. We found out there was a driving school going on and if we signed a waiver we could go in and see what was going on. Since one of lil man's favorite movies is Cars, he was very excited. I think he would've stayed there all day. There was a red car so of course that was Lightning.

After the speedway we went to the Schlitterbahn waterpark. It was a lot of fun.

That night we went to Legends an outdoor mall. In the parking lot it had a Titanic exhibit. It was very neat to go through and see some things from the ship. They also gave everyone a boarding pass of a real passenger and at the end you could see if you lived or died. Our middle child was sad because lil man and herself didn't make it, while big sis and I lived.



On Sunday we went to Crown Center for lunch at Fritz's which is where your food is brought to you by train. The kids thought that was pretty cool.

At the Crown Center there was an exhibit of Lego sculptures. They were amazing. Everything from people, to Monopoly game, to huge sunflowers. It was crazy that they were made all from Legos. Very impressive.

We ended the day at Science City. A fun place where you can try hands on experiments. Here the family is climbing in the kiddie area. They had everything from digging up fossils, riding a bike on a tightrope, checking your balance, reaction time and so much more.

Since we had so much fun this is how the trip ended.......

We all had a great time and hopefully it won't be so long before we have another family vacation. I will post more pics on our photo site and let you know when they are up for those interested.
