Wedding Weekend, Richmond, VA

Last weekend we went to my cousins wedding in Richmond.  It's an 8.5 hour drive, pretty long with two kids, but doable and much cheaper than four plane tickets.  My cousin arranged a great babysitter for Friday and Saturday night so we were able to relax and have a good time at the rehearsal dinner and reception.  Jake even slept in for us (7:30 both mornings!)  The Starbucks downstairs in the hotel was pretty nice too.

Grace got to swim in the hotel pool and Jake got to jump on the beds.  We also took them both to a really fun playground.  On the second day Jake happily declared "this is our new house."

The kids did really good with the babysitter.  They got to visit cousin Zachary down the hall, walk around the hotel, watch movies and eat junk food.

Overall a pretty good weekend.  The weather was great and we got to see lots of family.  The drive home was long, but there was only screaming for the last 45 minutes.
