The First Family Vacation--Fredericksburg

And when I say family, I mean five Yourees instead of the three. We've learned if we mention babysitting to the grandparents, they take the bait. So, the Youree crew crammed into our new vehicle and drove south to Fredericksburg, Texas.

To celebrate our fourth anniversary, we stayed at the same wonderful bed and breakfast we visited for our first anniversary--Palo Alto Creek Farm. Since our party was a bit larger this go around, we nestled into the Itz House and not the Barn this time. It was superb. The breakfast is always stellar--and abundant. The space was comfortable and cozy (love the period decor). And my favorite part is being on a working farm with the livestock and the wild animals, especially the deer. Anna was fond of watching the kitties.


Kisses by the huge tree! Anna was so well-behaved, but thoroughly spoiled by her grandparents. (We're home now mending her ways--ha!)


Daddy was being silly and put Anna's pants on her head. And then it was time for a shoulder ride, which, as you can see, she loves just about better than anything.

Bath time with Mimi and Daddy-Pa while we celebrated our anniversary on a special date. We ate a yummo meal at Navajo Grill. Those snazzy shades are a Mimi purchase. Of course, Anna is a fan . . . and a cutie!



Here, Anna is bonding with nature.

It's Super Anna . . . dun da dun . . . . She really likes "light" rough housing now. The old tricks I used--kissing her neck and cheek really fast--don't get the same giggles anymore. She's like, "Mom, please, I'm so over that. Toss me around on your shoulders, please."


What a fun vacation! When do we go again???
