Fortunately, I am okay about not going to London. Alone. With David. All right, all right, I am mostly over it. But we needed a plan B. And we think we've settled on the perfect plan B.
We're headed to Texas! Yee haw!
I know it's not very spectacular, but we're rolling with it. Working with what we've got. Making lemonade out of lemons. And Texas just so happens to be lemonade-worthy. We did a little researching, and David and I agreed that we needed a get-away that would wear the kids out, be somewhat warm, and would provided some great rest and relaxation. Texas has the Gulf of Mexico and beaches and we can drive there. Perfect. Also, our spring break falls after their spring break, and it appears that we'll be there without any crowds or college partying. It's off season, and we found a house--ON THE BEACH--for the same price as a Holiday Inn. The house has no Wi-Fi, cable, or bedding. Perhaps that's why it's such a great deal. So we bring our own sheets and books to read. Whoopie! I can hardly wait. We'll also be an hour from the NASA Space Museum and the Houston Children's Museum. Extra whoopie!
The best part of all is that we have something to look forward to and we will be able to get away as a family. Not so shabby, if I do say so myself.

Amen. We shall make lemonade...lots of it!! My boss just got back from going to the Texas Gulf for vacation. I thought she was crazy--had never ever heard of anyone going to Texas on vacation, but she had a great time, and I was humbled by my judgmental reaction. Sounds lovely, my friend. It will be warm and you all will be together.
It sounds awesome.I have heard great things about Texas coastal getaways. Warm. Beach. Books. Each other. LOVE!
It sounds absolutely wonderful and a perfect Plan B. Enjoy your lemonade!
that sounds amazing!!!!! I am so very excited for you guys. That lemonade sounds super delicious.
I LOVE TEXAS!! We have gone to the beach a few times and had a great time!! Really, how can you go wrong with the beach???
Consider going on a swamp tour/air boat ride. We went in the evening around sunset and were able to see all the alligators--their eyes were glowing! Our girls still talk about it--was definitely a highlight of our trip. Somehow I could imagine your kids finding it very cool!
And you can pit stop in OKC for the night!! Please say yes :) We'd love to have you! Food & sleeping arrangements will be provided. I love your kids and the idea of them spending time with my boys makes me sooooo excited. What do you say????
