Our Family Trip

Jeff, Adam and I just got back this afternoon from a little trip. We went for an overnight stay up in the Quad Cities. We didn't have huge plans, but we did get to do plenty. I thought that I would share some pictures that chronicles our trip.

First we went to the Family Museum. Adam mainly liked to sit on the car, fire truck, tractor, and truck that they had on display.

After we left the museum, we went out for dinner and then Adam and Jeff went swimming.

After we got Adam out of the pool (which he wasn't very happy about), we went back to our room and tried to go to sleep. This was Adam's first night in a hotel so it was interesting.

Today we went to Niabi Zoo. It is a nice little zoo. Adam liked it, but was more interested in the train that they have that you can take a trip on. Although you cannot tell by this picture, the train was probably his favorite part of the zoo.

For our first family trip, I would say it was successful. Adam has talked about going to the zeeum (a.k.a. Museum) and riding the train all afternoon today. While I would not pick the same hotel, we will probably plan something like this again next year. The travel time was perfect and the places that we visited were not too big and not too small. It was just right for a family traveling with a toddler.

However, I couldn't be happier to be home. There is some great truth to the saying "Home Sweet Home."
