Honeymoon # 2...kind of :)

What an awesome week! We just returned this Wednesday night from a four day trip in Arlington/Fort Worth. Cliff had coaching school, and we decided to make a vacation out of it, so with the help of some family members we stayed in a super nice hotel and had help with little Grace who stayed in Marble Falls with Mimi, Papa Fish, and Uncle Matt. Elijah joined us, and we went all over DFW. In addition to the coaching seminars, we visited the Stockyards in Fort Worth, TCU, downtown Fort Worth (which is so beautiful!!), our old friends from Dallas, my old work, Joe T. Garcia's (amazing Mexican food!), and enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and yummy breakfast buffet/feast at our hotel.

Cliff and I haven't had a trip together since Grace came along, so it was such a treat. I even spent one afternoon while Cliff was listening to speakers walking around the mall and Target for three hours. I can't even remember the last time I went to a mall. I actually went through every aisle of Target too. I may be crazy, but I have to admit it was really fun. Elijah just took everything in, mostly slept and chilled out in his car seat. I am still amazed how good he is.

Even though we had some much needed marriage time, we did miss Grace a ton. Each time we would see something she would have enjoyed...the zoo, museums, cattle, pool...we wished she was there. It is amazing how these little people became such a part of you! Your always thinking about them. I just wish we could figure out a way to make long car trips more enjoyable for her!

We had so much fun, that I forgot to take pictures. These are the only two...
