Road Trippin'

Emma and I had our first road trip for her dance competition this past weekend just the two of us.  Her second regional dance competition was in Mason, OH near Kings Island!  So I asked my Mother in law to get Ethan from the bus stop on Friday and Emma and I headed down there around 3:30 pm.  Luckily the weather was nice and it was a little less than 2 hours away!


We checked into our hotel and then headed about 5 minutes away to dinner at O'Charley's.  It was fun to just have some one-on-one time with her.  She is so busy with dance and school, we do not get much of that anymore.  I do not want to miss this time since I know soon enough she will be off to college.  That makes me sad...time goes so fast!

After dinner we headed back and Emma met some other dance friends at the pool and the Moms and I had some wine poolside!  Then off to bed!

The next morning we had a nice breakfast buffet at the hotel courtesy of our dance studio!  Then it was off to the high school to dance!  Emma gets a little nervous right before she goes on stage and then she is fine once she starts dancing.

It was a long day but all of Emma's dance performed really well and placed!  I am so proud of her and all the dancers.  They worked so hard throughout last year and this year on all their dances!  Great job Gen-PAC!

Saturday evening we headed home and the boys were waiting on us!  It was nice for a small getaway but nice to sleep in your own bed.  I do not sleep well in hotels since the beds are usually like sleeping on cement or the neighbors are loud or the heat or air is loud in the room too!
