Cressey hasn't spent the night in Jackson in a very long time (August 2016 when Glo's A/C went out and gave C her first hotel stay!), but since she did well on the road trip to the lake and she's better at sleeping in a bed now, we thought we'd try again. We struck out the first weekend of February with the help of Spiffer and GD. It was Grandparents' Day at school, so after HG came home with them, we hit McAlister's for (a very long and crowded) lunch and then got on the road.
By the time we made it to Jackson, it was pushing 5:00, and the girls were READY to get out of the car. (Cressey did sleep for a teeny bit on the drive.) We found a great park in Madison and let them run wild for a bit until the sun went down. Then we met our family for dinner at Newk's. When it was bedtime at Aunt Glo's, we started with Cressey on her toddler blow up mattress which she thought was great...until she saw HG and I get into the beds in the same room. Obviously, she ended up in the bed between us, but everyone (but mama) slept pretty well.
Saturday morning, we grabbed Krispy Kreme and headed out to see Reba and her family. HG took her hoverboard to play with Leighton and was in heaven. Cress loved just following around the big girls, and that went relatively well with the big sisters. Mid afternoon, we headed back over to Gloria's/ Nana's and then met up with Suzanne for a sweet treat at Fine and Dandy before hitting the road.
I'd consider the trip a success if the hardest part was enduring the 'are we there yet's,' and it was a huge plus that all of us actually got some sleep! We loved getting some much needed family and friend time too, so we'll be back sooner than later!
SnapChat fun while we waited almost an hour for our lunch
