We really did have a blast. Ohio was a family filled festivity. We each had our hair done -- thank you MacKenzie! Wren had her first true hair cut. MacKenzie also gave her her first "fringe" aka bangs haircut, so it was only fitting. :) I had some fantastic highlights done and also tried "keratin" for the first time. I KNOW! We hung out with Papa, Grandma Baden, Aunt Yvonne, Cousin Grace, Uncle Chuck, Hudson, even Uncle Steve (Grandma Baden's brother) made an appearance! I'm really glad we were able to see Papa as much as we did... the kids love teasing him and trying to get him to laugh!
Then, it was off to Texas. We saw Uncle Shawn, Bubbe, Pops, Great Bubbe, Great Grandma Jeanne, Aunt Mary and Rus as well as our friends Hadas, the Bakers/Millers and the Masons. Atticus and Wren had an absolute blast hanging out with their old friend Eleanora in Austin. They played at a splash park, ate fresh figs right off the tree in Eleanora's back yard and did a fantastic job of just goofing around.
While the kids stayed with Bubbe and Pops, Greg and I snuck off to Las Vegas for an adults only adventure. As best we can recall, this was the first time since Wren's birth that we'd been away with out the kids for more than a few hours! We had quite the adventure at the Cosmo hotel with the Bernsteins, the Asays, and Jhana too!! I got some much needed girl time at the pool and the spa, Greg got some boy time wandering the strip... Greg, Corey, Laura and I went to see Cirque at the Bellagio one night and followed up the evening with a fancy dinner at Eiffel Tower restaurant at the Paris hotel. Oh, and we had fantastic views of the fountains and water show at the Bellagio. The next night, a group of ten of us dined at Michael Mina. That was an incredible meal. Good company, fascinating discussions and really delish food. I know I've said it before... but I could really get used to 5 star dining! Before we knew it, it was back to Dallas to finish up the family tour and head back to NYC.
The kids were pooped, we were pooped -- and we didn't even get to do everything on our list. But -- it was a great trip. Good thing we were to have a week at "home" before the next adventure!!
