Wow - what a weekend! It was crazy.

Friday, we had fun at the Gap outlet. I got a swimsuit for 50 cents, among other things. Then we checked into the hotel before meeting up with the group. The aquarium was fun, but Brian and I both agreed that it wasn't life changing for us. I think because we have zoo passes, it wasn't THAT incredible to us, but it was nice. The German restaurant was good, but Madeline was not, so that was stressful. Then, Brian swam with the girls at the hotel. We had an amazingly good night of sleep. We had 2 double beds, and Emily slept with Brian and Maddie slept with me. Except for a few short lived crying spells, it was a smooth night.

The next morning we hit IHOP. Then we went to the Creation Museum. . . it was all downhill from here. There was a line out the door. . . to put it briefly, it was FRUSTRATING! They said they hadn't ever had such a large crowd (it has only been open for 2 months). Basically, you had to follow a line of people all through the museum, which meant going at a snail's pace. Doesn't work with small children! I was just D O N E. Plus, the subject matter was not exactly riveting to me. There were cool parts, but other areas were just things on the wall to read. . . anyway - it was very exhausting to me. We went to Graeter's for "peanutbutter blitz" icecream afterwards and got home close to 8pm.

Soon, Steph arrived and we chatted with her until about 10, then hit the hay!
