Heading to the Big D.....

A couple months ago Bethany had a weekend full of continuing education (which meant that Madelyn and I got to play around in Dallas while Mommy was learning).

Our first stop was a rest stop outside of Huntsville. Madelyn was hungry....so everyone ate lunch and headed down the road. Below is a pic of Madelyn's first "rest stop." BTW, we only made it about 30 miles.......Madelyn had a "blow out" (fortunately all four tires on the 4Runner were ok).


Below is a video of Madelyn's thoughts about her first road trip.


Here's a pic of Madelyn "snacking" as we approach the Dallas city limits.


This was Madelyn's first planned getaway (thanks IKE)....which meant it was also her first time to hang out on a large hotel bed. She had a pretty good time!!!!!


We stayed at the Fairmont Hotel (which was also the hotel that Sarah Palin spoke at while in Dallas (below is a pic of the "protest".....there were two sides of course).


Finally, below are some pics of some places we stopped while in Dallas.
