Vacationing with kids.


Even when it was just Joy Lin, vacations were somewhat of a challenge. At least for the first day and nite. So we had no idea how Gracie would do on a short trip to Williamsburg VA last week. It turns out, she did just fine. Except for the first nite!!! and the last nite. So it wasn't too bad at all.
It also turns out she is a trooper when it comes to following her father around an amusement park. We tried a few rides and that didn't go over at all. But she hung out in the heat in her stroller and managed to stay most of the day( or until mom said she had had enough!) Then we went to the water park the next day and she didn't want to do anything again. I felt bad for her because she was just watching everything. Then Joy Lin found a lazy river "ride" that we all could go on. It was just 4 ft deep and you just floated around a track like a piece of paper till you wanted to get out. Gracie loved it! She even loved getting water on her face! So Water Country USA turned into a hit!
We went to dinner twice and Gracie sat nicely at the table and "ate" her nutella without grossing too many people out. She did really really well. Miss Trish was very proud when I sent her a picture!
So even though Chris broke his ipad and lost two credit cards it wasn't a bad vacation at all. Both girls and dad had fun.
It was another big step for Gracie!
