We returned home around eleven this morning from a weekend away. Our 8-year-old had a dance convention, her very first one since she's begun competitive dance this year and of course, taking place during our very first snowfall of the year and a winter warning at that. I got off work about noon on Friday and grabbed the kiddos from school. We were on the road by 1 and boy, it got a little scary during our drive. We were driving right into the storm and the roads were not good at all. It didn't take much convincing that we might want to stay another night at the hotel and wait to come home until today.
It ended up being a fun weekend. Our girl had fun at all of her classes and it was a great learning experience for what is yet to come. We got done at a good time yesterday and were able to do some shopping. But by 6:00 the kids were just done. Instead of going out to eat as planned, we ended up grabbing something quick and took it back to our hotel room to relax. Luckily, we did find a good restaurant across the street from our hotel Friday night and were able to enjoy some delicious pizza there.
