Griswold Family Vacation
Long time no blog? Sorry about that. We've been a little busy and took some time away for a little family holiday. To be honest on a student budget we couldn't go anywhere fancy or extravagant, but we got away and took some time to just be the four of us, which was the point. I must say the boys could have cared less about where we went they had a blast regardless and thought they were in the lap of luxury in a deluxe suit in the most exotic of locals. But in all reality we were only five hours away from home visiting the heart of the badlands, Drumheller Alberta.
Joseph has always had a love for dinosaurs and has recently learnt more about them during the dinosaur unit at school. Which prodded us to the decision to go to Drumheller and visit the Royal Tyrell Museum. It was nothing short of spectacular with all of the superb artifacts and dinosaur information. Joseph was in heaven and I used more big words in our two hour tour of the museum than I have in my whole life. The kicker was my five year old understood all of them... brachiosauras, tyranosaurs rex, albertasouras, teranadon, allosauras, theropods, mastodon... my head was filled with information of a time that is so hard to actually believe really existed. Joseph was entranced by it all and was thrilled to be there.
After our tour of the museum we spent some time relaxing at the hotel's pool & waterslide. The boys had an absolute blast going down the waterslide... all three of them. We had some good laughs and wonderful time.
In the evenings we spent some time snuggled together on the hotel room beds eating pizza and watching some tv.
We were all sad to leave our little haven in the badlands and head home back to the real world. Life turned back to reality. But our two nights away from home were everything a family vacation should be, time together.
However, for me life back in reality was a sad one since I am in that ever so tired phase of pregnancy. I got home yearning for a warm soak in the tub and in my hormonal state was close to tears when all I wanted was to go back to the hotel because their bathroom had been cleaned sometime in the last month.... ahhh it really was back to the real world. Vim up to elbows and all.
I look forward to our next little get-away.
