Weekend Away...

Andrew has this week off, and since my parents were coming on Wednesday we decided to take a little mini-vacation-within-a-vacation before they got here. We were planning to camp, however the forecast did not seem to cooperate, so we went to Charlotte for three days instead! (YAY for a husband who travels and get hotel points so we can stay for free!) Here are a few pictures from our weekend!

Celebrating a birthday with a friend at Papas & Beer!



Naomi was not such a huge fan of the hat.



Our hotel... 6th floor.



Ben was impressed by the "trees that grow inside!!"



Naomi was NOT a fan of the glass elevator.



We ate amazing food... middle eatern, vietnamese, japanese... SOO yummy.



And no vacation is quite complete without a trip here... :)



And on vacation Ben gets to watch cartoons in the hotel... he loves it.

On Saturday Ben and Andrew went to the Discovery Museum... and watched an IMAX film.

They also built a New York City Skyscraper.



On Sunday we went to the Discovery Kids Museum, geared for younger kids. Naomi and Ben both had a blast playing in the water.



Driving a Race Car.



Riding a Cow. :)



And on Monday we took them to a huge mall in Charlotte, and saw the HUGE catfish in the tank at the Bass Pro Shop.

All in all a GREAT weekend!
