Our trip to The Woodlands

We decided to take the kids on an excursion down between Conroe and Houston and do some shopping and sight-seeing at and around The Woodlands Mall. The trip went well in spite of David's occasional reminders that he is only 2 years old and Abby's disappointment in not being able to swim at the hotel. But the Woodlands Mall is a wonderful place with lots of things to do for children. They have large play areas, a giant carousel, a children's museum and much more there. The mall has many fine restaurants inside and surrounding it, so it is easy to spend an entire day there.

It was a good experience over all and I think we'll return some time in the future and perhaps let Abby swim next time. We had a nice hotel room just blocks away from the mall and the drive seemed fairly easy in spite of how far away it was. I have a new photo album up on our Picasa Web Album page, called "The Woodlands". I have embedded a slide show in this post, but if you want to see larger photos, go to the album.

Abby's spring break is about over and so is my vacation time off from work. It has been a busy time for us and we have packed a lot of memories into the last two weeks. It is going to be hard to go back to the old routines, but I suppose it will also be a welcome change of pace. We have lost a lot of sleep over the past two weeks. If we can get our daytime back to normal, perhaps our nighttime will follow.
