Short Trip Out of Town - Finally!

This past weekend we finally got out of town for a short but long weekend. We took off on Saturday afternoon and came home later afternoon on Monday. I can not express how much we needed to get out of town and enjoy some family time away from home.

What did we do? Well...lots actually. It wouldn't be a trip for us if our days were jammed packed with stuff.

Highlights of our trip included:

Dinner and visiting with my good childhood friend, Cara, and her loving family.
Ikea and Mall of America with our friends Jenny, Geoff, and adorable daughter Addie whom we have known since 2007 as we traveled to Ethiopia together.
 Swimming and lounging at the hotel (Maya's favorite thing of the whole trip - sorry Addie and Cassidy!)
 Children's Museum - Kids had a blast but Dave and I chuckled as it seemed the entire place was surrounding by kids and mom's who are expecting!
 And lots and lots of yummy food!

Although it is good to be home and to sleep in my own bed, I am ready for our next adventure as we all had a great time!
