Spontaneous road trip to Virginia/Washington DC! DAY 3

On day 3 Nicole and I took the kids to the

National Zoo and had a blast!

Then before we left DC we went and let the kids play at a park.

They had so much fun there!

I loved just hanging out with Nicole and my kids the whole

day, it was great!

Spontaneous road trip to Virginia/Washington DC! Day 1

I decided on day 4 of the first week of fall break

that I wanted to go on a road trip

to see Nicole and take my kids the Washington DC.

So we loaded up in the car Friday morning and drove

to Virginia in one day :) It is about a 10 hour drive.

We arrived Friday evening and got settled in.

Trent joined us after work and got to Virginia at about 3 am.

The first day we went into DC and saw a few things. It was super crowded

because they were holding an event for the

20 year anniversary of the Million-man march.

We saw WW2 Memorial, Washington Monument, Iwo Jima,

the White House, Lincoln Memorial, 

Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

We then fought traffic back to Nicoles house, ate dinner and just visited.

Day 2 of our trip was Sunday, Trent left that morning to go back to work,

the kids and I just hung out and visited with Nicole for the

rest of the day.

Fall Break!

Owen had 2 weeks off of school the first two weeks of October!

The first week we found a few fun things 

to do around here in Kentuckiana! :)

We went to the Mall and did air 

jumping which they all LOVED!

We made Halloween sugar cookies!

Watched General conference and

Then just hung out as a family.

It was a great first week of fall break!

Trent's birthday!

Trent turned 40 this year!

So of course we had to have some fun with that!

We started out celebrating by going out to dinner the

night before his birthday. We went to a Chinese

restaurant in Louisville. It wasn't the best food but we had fun!

The next morning the girls helped me make his birthday cake.

Thanks to Dawn for sending me all the fun decorations to put on his cake!

Then we sang, ate cake and opened presents.

I'm so grateful to have such an awesome husband and he is the best

father to our children!

Happy birthday Trent, We love you lots and lots!
