Spring Break, Winston-Salem, NC

The morning after Easter, we loaded up the car and I took the boys to North Carolina to visit PeePaw and Grandma Beth. It was extra special, because like last year, Marshma and Papa also met us there on their way home from Florida. 

The boys are FANTASTIC car trip kids these days. They seriously watched movies and played games the entire ride. I joked that Luke may have said 30 words during the entire 7 1/2 hour trip, and that included "press play" and "I need a snack." Caleb talked a little more, but only because he felt the need to describe what he was building on Minecraft. :) It really was nice- I had a big cup of coffee, and an extra travel mug full, and got to listen to the radio the whole way. 

Halfway there, we stopped in Charleston, WV to visit Papa Bill and GG, and as luck would have it, Grandma Kathy was there visiting too. We had a late donut breakfast and then got back in the car for the second leg of the journey. Once we arrived, we were pretty worn out, so we spent that afternoon and evening just hanging out around the house.

Since Krispy Kreme began in Winson-Salem, it was only fitting that we started our first full day there with hot glazed donuts. Yum!!! (Luke is still wearing this hat. This week he went to Wal-Mart with it on.)

Our first museum stop was the Winston-Salem Children's Museum. Caleb remembered it really well from last year and was so excited.

Then they played Krispy Kreme workers. 

Next it was on to the Food Lion.

Luke also decided to try out being a veterinarian 

as well as being a fisherman.

Our last stop was the handmade climbing thing that was outside. Caleb figured out a way to the top.

Luke and I were worn out after spending the morning at the museum and took a nap together. It turned out to be the only nap that he had all week, yet he did really good!
Much more fun to come...
