In the City

We decided to do a little trip to Oklahoma City this holiday weekend so we could get a few of the big items we need for the baby in the oven. It's about an hour and a half drive to the city, and always a struggle to figure out how to get down there and back and manage a nap around 1:00. So I decided to book a hotel for Friday night. We drove down Friday morning, did all our big shopping (futon - check, nursing chair- check), had lunch, went to the hotel and let Lucas take his nap. He woke up and we went swimming at the hotel pool. Then Texas Roadhouse for dinner, and back to the hotel for the night.

Saturday morning we went to the Science museum. It was really cool! They had a whole kids section that Lucas was able to run around in for awhile. It had an amazing water table with boats, a tractor to get into, and all kinds of activities. A lot of them were way over Lucas's head, but he still enjoyed everything. I'm pretty sure Ben had as much fun as Lucas. He is a science geek at heart, and loved showing Lucas all the exhibits, especially those related to his degree in physics. We didn't even get to the second floor of the museum because there was so much to do! Definitely worth the time going, and I think we will be back!

The trip was a successful shopping trip, and a fun family mini vacation. Just getting out and doing something different is needed sometimes!
