We spent Saturday in DFW. Richard had a friend's birthday party to go to that night and I was getting pretty stir crazy since we haven't done much traveling since June and we stayed home the entire spring break this year! I had off both Friday and today so we decided to make Saturday a family day and head to DFW early. We went to IKEA for my first time ever and for someone who is definitely not a shopper, I think I'm in love! They had some really great deals and I didn't have to search to hard to find them! We got Jansen his first potty chair too, so it's time to start getting him used to that. No hard-core training yet, but at least he'll get familiar with the thing before it's time to start the teaching part!
We stayed in the Historic Hilton, which is the hotel that Jackie and JFK stayed in the night before his assassination. I didn't realize it was the same place until I read it in the hotel info sheets, even though I've spent several summers teaching the assassination and touring the 6th Floor Museum with oodles of kiddos. The name has changed so I guess that is my excuse, but it was kind of like feeling a piece of history right there when I realized where we were.
We also ate some yummy food and just had a nice relaxing time. Jansen and I stayed in the hotel while RIchard went to his get together. I'd like to say we went to bed early, but Little Man was wound UP and all over the place. Instead we danced and did some spinning in circles and jumped on the bed until 11 when I FINALLY got him to relax and fall asleep!
We got up the next morning and went to the church that is the head of our diocese for the Easter Celebration Mass. It was a beautiful church, and PACKED!!
Then I just had to get some pics of Jansen in the Easter suit. He slept all the way through church, but was full of energy when we got to the car and had to drive back home!
Havin' fun!!
