Today we headed out and went to the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science.

The kids really enjoyed it.

They had a little bit of everything including a Dino Dig, several different exhibits on animals, water, electricity, light and rocks and then a kids museum with a lot of different activities for children.  (Although most of the museum was pretty kid friendly.)

After we finished up all of the exhibits we grabbed a snow cone and Fair Park and then headed inside for an IMAX movie.

It was the first time we have ever taken the kids to an IMAX theater and they were totally blown away by it. 

(Well...actually Jaci fell asleep...but the boys loved it!)

We have done things on this vacation that we probably wouldn't take the time to do otherwise and it has been so nice.  Every time we stay in a hotel it is usually on our way somewhere.  We never just stay for no reason.  You forget how exciting hotels are for kids and what a treat it is to just go and stay at one.  I think one day our kids will look back at this little vacation with fond memories.  It really wasn't anything overly special or exciting (well...the Great Wolff Lodge was a pretty big treat but not like Disney World or something like that.) but we have all been together with minimal fighting and have spend some good quality time together.

It doesn't get much better than that!
