Weekend Away












Last weekend Kasey and I decided we just needed a weekend out of town with the kids. So I made reservations at a hotel for the night and we headed over after I got off work on Friday. Kaitlyn and Grant are water bugs for sure and enjoyed the hotel swimming pool. In the morning we headed to the Boat Show. It was nice to wander around and look in all the boats. Kasey was very patient with me and the kids as I wanted to go and look at all the "lottery boats". Of course you had to take your shoes off to even step foot on them. They had washer/dryers, full oven, three staterooms, two bathrooms and were on sale for only $993,000. A deal?!
After that, we wandered down to the more realistically priced boats. Everyone was into the fancy ski boats it seemed however they are not pratical for families whatsoever. There is no room in them! We found a boat that we both liked and both decided that new is not for us, and we need one that would function well in salt water and fresh water We would rather find a good used one and use our money wiser. With the market the way it is a new boat is impraticial and not a good choice.

In the afternoon we went to visit Kasey's Grandma Clara at his Uncle David's house. She has been sick for a while so it was a blessing to get to spend a few hours visiting. She is 80 and the mother of 10 children! She is simply an amazing woman.

We took the kids to the Aquarium on our way home. Kaitlyn's favorite was the tide pool where you could touch the starfish and Grant liked the Octopus.
