Family Stay-Cation

Beau is starting a new/old job this week!  His old firm threw him a great offer to get him back and we just couldn't turn it down.  It puts him closer to home (his commute just changed from 45-60 minutes each way to 10 minutes!) which we are ALL so happy about.  In between switching companies Beau took a few days off and we took advantage of it.

We thought about going on a vacation, but the reality of traveling with babies is just a little more work than we are up to.  So, we took a 2-day "stay-cation" to Salt Lake City.  We stayed at the Little America Hotel and then did stuff around the valley.

We had a lot of options planned, but when it came down to it, the babes could only handle so much fun before getting completely worn out.

We took them to the Living Planet Aquarium.  All four of us had a blast.  We got to pet a snake, starfish, and stingray.  We got to see lots of animals and fish (sharks, turtles, penguins, otters, Toucans, and much more).  We climbed through a bridge, saw a 4D movie, and "drove" a boat.  It was a lot of fun!

Next to the Aquarium, the hotel was the highlight of our stay.  The girls love jumping on the beds, exploring, watching cartoons, and much more.

Evie loved this vanity set-up.  She let me know that she was doing her hair and makeup.  So cute!

We spent a good amount of time in the hotel pool too.

Beyond that, we ate at some fun and more unusual places.  We all had a great time and were completely worn out.  We'll save some of the activities on our list for another day/time.

I love that we got this time together.  And, I'm excited for Beau's new/old job.  :)
