Vacation

We managed to make some time to get away for a vacation. It's amazing what the passing of time will do to make an experience so much more pleasurable. Our first attempt to vacation with the twins, when they were just a few months old, was horrible. This time we went into it with a different mindset and, of course, the kids are older. We bought a cheap DVD player so the kids could watch movies during the ride to Lancaster, PA our destination for a three day outing to Dutch Wonderland and the Strasburg Railroad. The DVDs were a big aid in keeping the kids occupied.

They immediately took to the hotel room; lots of new things to explore and try to take apart! They slept together in the twin bed without a fuss, something they haven't done since they were tiny babies. And, thankfully, they adapted to eating restaurant food without much of a fuss. It's amazing how a human can eat mac 'n cheese everyday.

They'll be returning to daycare in a few days to meet new classmates. Next trip probably in December.
