Weekend Adventuring

Yesterday morning, our little family packed a bag, okay about 5 bags (3 of them belonging to the smallest among us) and hit the road to find adventure. What we found was a long interstate that led us to a quaint town with a children's museum for our little guy, a bike shop for the big guy and a cute little downtown area with a big beautiful church for me. We then hit the road again, sure more adventure would find us, and it found us pulling through a KFC drive-thru, approximately 3 hrs from home, and running into a dear friend from home that I had not seen in almost 2 years (thanks to my stupid smart phone that died and lost my numbers). Again the open road, hand-holding, sounds of a movie in the backseat and lots of good conversation led us to Washington DC, well Arlington to be exact. Here we found wishing wells, brick sidewalks, a restaurant where we ate outdoors, cafe style, and our child's limits on how much fun he could take for one day. And now, I am lying in a big king size bed with my two favorite guys (after our little one had an accident in his new air mattress "heltel bed"), waiting to start Part 2 of our lovely weekend adventure. It has been too long since we have done this, and boy have I missed it.
