TEXAS VACATION Nov 11-Nov 17

We had a wonderful time on our 2nd vacation with Jacob. This was our first time flying with him and he did great. We flew into Dallas and drove to my sister's house.
We drove to the watergardens in Fort Worth, which was pretty cool.



That night we had a good time at Main Event playing video games and then headed over to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner, YUMMY!!!! The next day we went to downtown Dallas to see the grassy knoll where Kennedy got shot. Chad had a great time seeing the area and the museum and hearing the theories behind the shooting. We then checked out the new Hard Rock cafe in Dallas. Saturday night Chad and I drove back into Dallas to go to SamOwen's wedding. The reception was amazing, being at the top level of a hotel and huge windows looking out over all of Dallas.



Chad had a great time meeting up with people from CO that he has not seen for a long time. Our time with Jackie and Charlie and their girls was a ton of fun. Jackie was so good to Jacob taking him for walks and feeding him and rocking him to sleep.
Sunday we drove all the way to Houston to go to my uncle's house. My uncle John has a beautiful house, a nice boat, jet skis and a hot tub. So even though it was pretty cold outside, we still went for a boat ride and rode the jet skis, WITH WINTER COATS ON :) we were the only people on the lake!

John fed us some really good food, my dad tried lobster for the 1st time, and overall we had a great time there.
Jacob was soooooo good for the trip. He had a few times when he got fussy because of being tired or waking up in the middle of the night and not wanting to go back to sleep (car rides at 3am to put a baby back to sleep are fun times ;) but Chad and I were really proud of him.
