Vacation, Leg 1 (cont’d)

So the next morning, I was greeted with the same sign I’m greeted with every morning.

“Eat, eat.”

So we took ’em to one of my favorite places to eat as a kid.  And this is Phil… being Phil.

“Dear God, thank You for this food.  I don’t know what it is yet, but I am sure I love them and so I am very thankful for them.  Amen.”

These two in particular enjoyed the giant cinnamon rolls and gooey cream cheese frosting.

Girls after my own heart.

It was fun showing the kids my old stomping grounds on this trip.  After breakfast, we drove by the motel where I grew up (which yes I know sounds really weird), my old high school, even the old frozen yogurt store where I worked.  Which still happens to be there and still has the same orange “It’s Really Yogurt” sign in place.  Amazing, since so many other things have changed over the years.

Then it was back to the hotel for a little play time before packing up and moving on to Leg 2 of our trip.  These two didn’t go easy on me at all.  Especially that little one there.  Fierce.

They loved this giant chess/checkers set.

General horsing around, if you will.

Then they played a game for reals.  Twice.

There was intense concentration.  Daddy won the first game.
