'February Family Staycation'



Continuing our family tradition, and in celebration of Brent having a week off of class, we spent the last weekend of February playing. We ate great food, relaxed a lot at home, went to a few fun places, and enjoyed each others company.



What we did:
~Ate out a lot, at the awesome Two Hen's Cafe, the enigmatic Moore's Family Diner and kid friendly Red Robin
~Visited Temple Square and *gasp* didn't get frustrated with trying to find a place to park!
~Played at the Children's Exhibit at the Church History Museum
~Went to(and took all of these pictures) at the Model Train Expo in Ogden
~Played on the trains and the girls took a mini train ride around the parking lot
~Played at the Children's Museum
~Had a family movie night at home watching Beauty and the Beast



What we didn't do:
~Cook, except for big breakfasts
~Clean, except for basic necessity
~Spend moolah on a hotel or travel
~Stress about life or what we could be getting done!

Highlights:
~
Accidentally finding the Moore Family Diner with it's awesome cowboy decor and atmosphere. The old guys having their usual coffee after work was awesome. The girls loved it. And their homemade food was delicious
~Making our won popcorn on the stove, we're hooked.
~Being able to just relax and enjoy being a family.

Great Adventures!
And I like the no chores rules- except no housekeeping when you check out. : ( I'm sure it was worth it.
