Even when it rains, we are happy!

I have given it much thought and have finally come to this conclusion: vacations (at least for my little family) are overrated! Not that we did not enjoy ourselves, but it seems like we have just as much fun taking a long weekend to sleep late, all snuggled under the covers, and be lazy for four days. Going on vacation means spending tons of money to get to your destination, stay at a hotel, and pay for your activities that you may or may not  get rained out of! Because that is what happened to us. We left for Cincinnati Ohio early Friday morning; it was a gorgeous day, with blue sky and great big puffy white clouds.

This was the view that we had through our sunroof the entire ride there!

And our little angel girl was perfect the ENTIRE time!

We were in the car for SEVEN hours. We HAD to bring some snacks! :)

Aaaand, this is how I sat - pretty much the entire time!

But literally, while we were inside the motel checking in the clouds came and it started sprinkling!
We booked a king bed in a regular room online before we left. But when we got to the motel they said that our room was a king suite! We were so excited because that was going to be WAY easier with Nadia at night. We went for a swim but didn't get any pictures - I didn't want to take the camera in there!

The next morning we were headed to the Creation Museum. We didn't take very many pictures because My family already has many, several times over. But we did get a few moments.

Then the next day we were headed for a baseball game in downtown Cincinnati. It is a beautiful city but I didn't even get to take my camera out the entire time because it was raining; we even ended up leaving the game at the 5'th inning because of the rain. Very disappointing!

We did have an amazing time, but still feel that staying in bed all weekend is just as good and staying in bed doesn't cost any money!
