Our 1st Family Vacation -Day 1

This year we decided to take a big family vacation. It included the Barnards, Carters, Boones and Thompsons. Erik found the neatest house in Breckenridge and we just spent a week there. Here is a play by play of the week!

Day 1 - Friday - July 17th

We left about 10am and picked up Gigi at work in Mansfield about 10:30. I was so worried that Nolan wouldn't do very good on the 15 hour road trip. I honestly prayed about the situation about million times. God was so good and so was little Nolan. He was perfect as long as we had snacks and Mickey Mouse.

We stopped for lunch at Dairy Queen and we learned that Nolan loves their chocolate dipped ice cream...just like his mom. We stopped for dinner in Raton at McDonalds and Nolan had a blast playing in the playground and coming down a long slide by himself.

Later that night, we arrived in Castlerock, where we stayed the night in a hotel for the 1st time with Nolan. He did not like it at all! As soon as we entered the hotel room, he started screaming....he eventually went to sleep and when he woke up he was still screaming. I was thinking that he had an ear infection, but later realized he just hates hotel rooms. He was fine once we got outside the next morning.

Here is a pic of Nolan in the car eating a snack and watching Mickey!
