Spring Break Trip–Day 1- April 2012

 

We were headed to spend a few days in Branson, MO. My favorite vacation getaway spot. We were going to meet up with some really special friends! The crazy part is her and I have been friends for many years, before I had kids. And this is the very first time for us to meet in person! How crazy is that! But it’s so worth it!!! Our friendship is really special! It has weathered the hardest storms! But even went through a time we didn’t speak, but in that time, God has each of us growing on our own!!! And when we came back together, our friendship is even stronger! We know the darkest and deepest secrets! And it’s all ok! No we don’t always see eye to eye, as a matter a fact, we see lots very different, but we are there for each other and  without judging the other! It’s really a dream come true trip!

Just a few shots of our drive there.

 

We got there and went to dinner at Cracker Barrel. They had been swimming already, but we were late arriving. Go figure. The girls and I stop a lot! Or as she says, we dilly dag around!

After dinner we hung out at the hotel until we all went to bed.

Now you know you have a good friend, when she lets your child not only sleep with her, but puke on her and everything was didn’t flip out on you! She just cleaned it all up.

 

We set out for our real first day with some pictures at the hotel before we headed out.
