The stars at night are big and bright. Deep in the heart of Texas.

*Sigh* I love vacations. Even little weekend ones. I especially love vacations with just my little family. Yes, it is nice to go with our parents and have them foot the bill for everything ;), but I think it's so much fun to just spend quality time with my two boys. 

We went down and ate dinner and walked around the Riverwalk for a while this evening, and even though my feet, legs, and back are killing me now (and I'm pretty sure all that walking has made me start having Braxton Hicks contractions), I loved every single moment of it. There's just something about sharing new experiences, things of beauty, and special moments with those you love most--that's what life is all about, right? I don't think I fully appreciated the awesome vacations my parents took us on when we were younger, but now that I have my own family, I realize how special traveling together can be. I want my children to have fond memories of our family vacations and fun things that we did together.

I'm a happy, tired, pregnant lady right now :o)

(The leash is fantastic, by the way. They should give these out at the hospitals when people have babies.)
