We started our first family vacation driving 4 hours to Hays, KS for my dear sister's birthday/Godson's 1st bday/brother-in-law bar passing celebration! It was a wonderful weekend filled with family, fun and food. The girls did remarkably well in the car ride (read "no TV necessary") and slept well in our hotel room. Thank goodness for the suite, pull out couch for Sophia, and bathroom big enough for Monica's pack and play! Sophia and I spent 2 hours in the hotel pool during nap time! We also went to Mass at St. Fedelis in Victoria, KS which is to be named a minor basilica next week! It was followed by their fun German fest and nap. We woke up Monday morning, packed while the girls played with Nana, grandpa and dear Aunt L. We spent the next 7 hours driving flat Kansas and Colorado! We were able to stop at the Kit County Country Carousel and a fabulous little Park somewhere in Eastern Colorado. After passing snow and the tree line, we finally made it to our happy little condo! We quickly dropped off our stuff (3rd floor, no elevator, lack of oxygen and tiny feet make for a difficult trek!) and hot the local pizza joint that was recommended by our check in lady, Hernando's. Fabulous atmosphere, beer and food! We stopped at safeway to fill our fridge and pantry, and the time change hit the girls hard. Swiftly bedtime! We returned to our "home" and put Monica in Sophia's bathroom, and Sophia in her big bed. Whew! We vegged on a little cable (so many commercials!) and unpacking, then hit the small bed. So hard to switch to a full/queen after our King at home. But so worth it for this experience! What a day!
