I Was Thinking....

Mom and I were talking today about taking a family vacation. It was soooo much fun last summer at Phil and Lauren’s wedding that I would love to attempt to take another family vacation with the WHOLE family!! Maybe this time something a little closer to home...or maybe not....I was thinking of renting a cabin and going tubing or something. What do y'all think? Any suggestions of where to go or what to do? Of course we could go to some cool place in Mexico or something…. I would really like to do something this summer with the whole family. I'm making Karthik take swimming lessons at the beginning of the summer so that he will be prepared!!! I just think that if everyone does want to do something we should start looking into it now. This way I can start planning and saving. Maybe we can combine it into a graduation celebration for me too!! :)

Anniversary Trip!!

We had the BEST time!!!! Someone was supposed to pack the night before we left but (he) fell asleep instead so we left a little later than we thought we were. Since we were running late we decided stop off for some Indian food (yuuuuuuuuum). Since the cabins were 5 hours away, we wanted to break up the drive so we didn't spend our whole anniversary driving, so we stayed at Phil's house Friday night. Everything was right on schedule we almost had everything packed when Sam ran out of Phil's house!! After, we got him we realized that Karthik locked the door!!! Lucky for us we had our cell phones and car keys! We met halfway to Austin to pick up the keys to the house. After allllllll that.....we headed out....late but still in good spirits!! The cabins were great! I'm not used to things being so quit! I also didn't realize how much we would learn! Like lesson number 1: Karthik can not skip...(it's so funny to watch it looks more like gallop). I got to see pigs!!! I have never seen them so close before!!! (Well not that I can really remember anyways). We took pictures of me next to the pigs but for some reason the pictures are really dark. When we got back from our walk we made dinner and exchanged gifts!!! I got a diamond necklace!!! I was really, really surprised considering we agreed on a $50 limit!!! I got Karthik a massager.
We made plans to wake up at 6 A.M. get ready and go to Lost Maples State Park.
6 AM came and went and were were still in bed sleeping...(IT WAS COLD!!!) We got up around 8Am, instead. We learned a lot there too! Like it helps to bring a backpack...and oh yeah FOOD!!! We walked for about 6 hours! It was sooo much fun, we hiked until it started to get dark!! We went back to the cabin made dinner and played Uno...lets see who won??? OH YEAH THAT WOULD BE ME! We were so tired from hiking we fell asleep before midnight. (honestly, I forgot it was New Year's eve)!! We woke up the next morning packed and headed to Austin. We got to see Brad's new house! Which I liked a lot!!! It was really nice! Brad, Philip, Karthik, and I went out to Chil's for lunch. After, hanging out with Brad for a couple of hours it was time to head home!!!
