Vacation Time

This past weekend, we took Ethan on his very first mini vacation up to Traverse City where we met up with my mom and her husband, Kevin. We left Friday night after work around 7 pm and arrived there around 11 pm. Ethan was actually pretty good the whole way up there. He fussed a little bit in the car after he ate but fell asleep right after and slept pretty much the rest of the way up. Saturday we basically just bummed around downtown and shopped and went to the Grand Traverse mall where Ethan got his picture taken with the Easter bunny! (So cute...I'll have to scan it) Then we went back to the hotel and took naps and then went out to dinner. We went to this place called "Boone's" and Elliott had a 22 oz prime rib. It was huge! And I'm not exaggerating when I say that it had to be at least 2 1/2 inches thick! We probably could have rolled Elliott out of there...lol. We headed back down to Detroit on Sunday around 11 am and all-in-all, we had a pretty good time. The weather was pretty good on Saturday....cold but sunny, but on Sunday, we woke up to tons of snow and ice, hence the reason for our early departure on Sunday. Ethan got tons of presents from mommy and daddy and grandma and grandpa...so he made out like a bandit!
