The kids were on Spring Break the past week. We have been dying to get out of town ever Mike got finished with his busy time at work. One of the nice things about living where we do is that there are quite a few places we can drive to in a few hours. Last year we went to Dallas for Spring Break, and we liked it so much that the kids voted to go there again. Once again we had a great time. We headed down on Thursday morning. We got there and checked into our hotel. Then we went to the King Tut exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art. There was a lot of really neat artifacts, and Megan was excited to see some of the stuff since she has learned about Egypt in Social Studies. Sammy and Noah did remarkably well there, even though they didn't have a lot of interest in what we were looking at.
After the museum we headed to the kids favorite restaurant-Sweet Tomatoes! They loved going there when we lived in Utah, but we don't have one nearby anymore.
On Friday we headed out to do some serious shopping. We started at Bass Pro Shop, a place we thought Noah would enjoy. Then off to the mall. We pulled off a 7 hour shopping trip, with a break in the middle to go see Monster vs. Aliens.
What 7 hours of shopping does to a kid!
Then to dinner at a place that Mike and I wanted to go - Pei Wei. We finished our trip Saturday with a trip to the American Girl store for Sammy.
There are a couple of other things we would have liked to do, but the weather was quite cold, so we will save it for next time.

Looks like you guys had some fun, and that exhibit looked really neat!
Sounds like a fun trip, and you were so diligent to plan a little something for everyone. Kudos to you.
Andrew's favorite restaurant is also Sweet Tomatoes.
We'd have liked to have been there with you -- maybe next time.
Oh, but what is that perched upon the waterfall? A COUGAR!!
So much fun! Sounds like Dallas for spring break might become a tradition. We may have to join you again next year!
I'm glad you had a good time together. What did you think of the American Girl store?
How fun! My kids would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go in the American Girl store- myabe one day we will make it! One of our favorite places to eat is also Sweet Tomatoes, the other on the top of the list is Panda Express- just typing both of these makes me hungry!! Wish we'd get one here!
Looks like you guys had a really good time. Dallas is a great city--wish we could have joined you! BTW, I think that your kids have all grown a good foot since we last saw you!
