Vacation Part One- No kids allowed!

As a graduation present, my mother has been nice enough (or crazy enough, you pick... read on) to take our two darling angels while we go on vacation from Monday-Friday. Friday morning we will meet her to pick up the kids and have Part Two of our vacation with Jake and Hailey. So far it has been pretty relaxing. We started out the week by heading to Atlantic City, where we managed to only spend $100!!! Can you believe it? Yeah, we're that good! lol... we obviously left without the $100 but it lasted us a while on the slots and roulette wheel.
We played at the Borgata, then around 11pm headed to Ocean City, Maryland (well Fenwick Island, DE actually). Needless to say, we were taking turns driving and keeping each other awake. If you notice in the picture below, we are sharing ipod earphones because the radio wasn't working. Matt was lucky enough to be serenaded several times throughout the trip... usually the chorus to every song we were listening to... he loved it! lol, haha.
Tuesday morning we slept in (well I was up at 9:45... it was the best I could do). Then we laid around for a while, showered, headed to the outlets then to outback for dinner. Oh and somewhere in there we went grocery shopping... Harris Teeter is awesome by the way! They have samples all over the store! This was our breakfast since it was 11am by the time Matt was up and ready to go grocery shopping. =)
Wednesday we went back to Rehoboth (after sleeping in and laying around again... and watching Into the Wild) to go to Walmart. We picked up stuff to fix the bikes, a bike trailer so we can pull the kids along, and a new bike for Matt. Then we went around town and came home for a bike ride. Then to Harpoon Hannah's for dinner... which was amazing!!! After that we went to a tattoo shop for prices... so more details on that later. Then we came home got our bikes and went up to play basketball... I lost in case you were wondering. =)
Today is our last day without children!!! So we have bigs plans! lol, sorta... I'll let you know what we end up doing later. Maybe I'll post pictures too =) Hope everyone is having as much of a relaxing week as we are.... I still miss my babies and can't wait to see them tomorrow!!

P.S.- Jake has managed to climb over gates and knock them down to escape his bedroom at grandma's house... so mom seems a little tired! lol thanks again mom! I called her Tuesday morning and she said that Jake climbed over the gate and went all the way to her basement in our old bedroom where missionaries are currently staying. They were nice enough to bring him back up to bed, where mom heard them and came in. Next night, after mom put two gates up, Jake climbed/knocked them down and mom got up the next morning to find Jake sleeping on the couch. I think he might have been looking for us, which is incredibly cute and kinda sad... but really funny when its not happening to us! Thank you thank you thank you mom! We owe you! =)


Love,
Ashley
