Road Trip

I couldn't take it anymore.  Cabin fever had reached unparalleled heights and a week off from school for winter break made me want to put my head in a pillow and scream so I did what anyone would do.  I got out and I got out fast!  I said goodbye to Randy and hauled the boys down to Virginia to hang out with Cheryl {my best friend/BYU roomie}.  Virginia wasn't any warmer than RI but at least it was somewhere different.  This little mini-vacation ended up being a great idea.
Cheryl has four boys and more toys than you could ever imagine.  It's a boy paradise.   My boys would've been perfectly content if we had stayed inside all day every day but we did get out for a few adventures. 
Cheryl has a membership at a super posh gym with free childcare.  We went twice, did a couple awesome classes that left us feeling very sore, while the kids played in the fanciest {free!} childcare facility I've ever seen.  If I had a gym like that nearby I would be there every single day.  The indoor pool and climbing wall was also a nice perk.
Now that I know Cheryl is just under an 8-hour drive away, I am thinking I'll be taking advantage of her hospitality more often before we move back West.  Assuming we move back West.  But that's another story for another day.  Randy is in Seattle right now interviewing/looking for a job.  Keeping our fingers crossed something feels right!
All the boys lined up by age getting ready to spend 2 hours at an indoor bounce place
We had the place to ourselves which was so awesome!

Forget about aiming for the nets, shooting our boys was way more fun!

There was lots of snuggling while watching cartoons
Our crew walking into the gym.  That's a lot of boys!

The childcare facility complete with a Mac computer lab, basketball court, indoor playground, and toys.
The rock climbing wall was free and fun

Thamina also joined us in the evenings.  Roommates forever!

We had to stop in and see my Aunt Ann's family and meet my cousin's little daughter Julia.  Marcus rocked her to sleep and loved doing it.
The boys quickly forgot about sledding as they searched for golf balls buried in the snow
The teenage years are just around the corner as Marcus willingly napped during the drive.
