Vacation!!!

Tim and I had a week off from work together. It was great. For the first weekend we just stayed at home and hung out with the kids. We left for Hot Springs Arkansas early Wednesday morning. Just Tim and I went. It was really great to have some time to ourselves! We had a fun time driving down there. It was kind of boring as far as the scenery goes. Straight roads and lot and lots of farms. We were glad to get there. Our hotel left a lot to be desired. But we made the most of it and just enjoyed ourselves. We were walking distance from Main St in Hot Srings. We soent most of our time on Main St. Just sight seeing and learning about the springs. We took a Duck tour. Tim had never done this before. They have a gorgeous lake that we got to go on and the weather was beautiful. We had some really great food alomg the strip and found some cool shops. We got the kids some soveiners and also got more Christmas shopping done. The last day that we were there we got a couples massage. That was a fantastic way to end a vacation. The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and preparing to go back to work. If I could make it happen I would gladly work from home all the time.
So we are back to he regular schedule this week. Working full time and going to school 3 nights a week. I fell off the no soda wagon last week while were on vacay and gained 3 pounds :(. Happy to say that I am back on and have not had a soda in 3 days. I am determined to stay that way. Also tonight for dinner we had hotdogs. And for a side instead of chips, the kids and I had brocolli! That is a step in the right direction! I will keep you updated on the progress! Pictures from vacay will posted soon.
