Spring Break

Well, like the fools we are, we headed north for spring break. Sure, we could have gone to the beach as a practice run for the big beach trip later this summer. We could have stayed in Knoxville and enjoyed the beautiful 70 degree weather and watched all of the flowers start to bloom. In stead, we decided to head north about 700 miles in search of cooler, wetter weather. Well, that and good company.

We got to Roscoe Tuesday night and after an uneventful and relatively traffic free drive north we got there about 9:30pm. Wednesday, was a wet and rainy day so we took the kids to Bridge to Terabithia. The movie is very good and we all enjoyed it. A bit sad, but a good story and definitely worth watching for the young and old.



Later that night, Jen drove down but was toting her notebook computer (well, not really hers, but her company's-see her blog for what happened to her computer) as she was not on vacation, but was going to tele-work for a few days. Unfortunately, Pops' spring break won't start until next week, so he too has work during the day.

Thursday, we went to the local skate park and Nick got to skateboard for about an hour and practice a few of his stunts. It was too bad it was a bit windy and cool, otherwise we might have stayed and skated for hours. As it was, he skated a bit and we played for a while in the park with Sarah. After an hour of playing chase, it was time to head to the house and get warm.

Friday and Saturday were both good days. We played outdoors quite a bit and it actually almost got warm. We played some football, baseball and just goofed around. Friday night we had Tom and Sally over for dinner and relatively quiet birthday celebration for Sarah. She and Grandma Roey and baked and decorated it earlier in the day and I must say it looked and tasted great.

Saturday was more fun outdoors. Nick played for a while at Tanner's house and I know he enjoyed playing with someone near his own age. He also enjoyed playing Tanner's PS3. Saturday night we went to a Japanese Restaurant; the kind of place where the cook the food in front of you. Jen ordered some wierd sushi, including eel, but I managed not to look to disgusted and didn't barf on her order.



All in all, we had a great time and played a lot of Blockus, Aggravation and even taught Nick how to play Push. He loves the idea of being able to win money. We also ate well courtesy of Grandma Roey and Pop's cooking. I'll post some pictures of the trip soon.
