Trip recap!

We left Thursday afternoon, after a rocky start. Getting out of the house on time was just not destined to happen. The drive there was fairly uneventful, the most interesting things between here and Oklahoma are the overbearing signs of Christianity. For example, there is an "Adult Superstore" on the side of the interstate. In front of it is a huge sign that says "Jesus saves and heals. Pornography destroys" Of course, I mentioned the billboard that had my blood boiling in an earlier post. So, Oklahoma was also fairly uneventful. Cheap gas in Sooner Country made us want to pack up and move there. We finally got to the great state of Texas, and by the time we reached Central TX it was near dawn. A (too) quick nap, and we were out the door. Lunch with my MIL, some time on Fort Hood, and some random errands. We stopped by the tattoo shop to say hello, and decided to come back in the evening for some work. The kids spent an evening filled with junk food and toys, and overall spoiling by Oma. Saturday was relaxing, more spoiling for the kids, more relaxing by mommy and daddy. Saturday night was trick-or-treating. I've never seen the kids so excited. "You mean they give us CANDY?!? Hell yeah!!!" The sugar high turned into a sugar coma, and all was well. Sunday was the day Jake had to be in San Antonio, so my in-laws drove him down there. Monday afternoon we left, unwillingly, and all was going fairly well untl we were about 16 miles from our exit. 3am, and I saw a car seemingly out of no where in my rearview. I asked N if it was a cop, and no sooner had he said "I hope not" than the lights flipped on. Shit, I knew I was speeding, I figured I was DONE FOR. The cop told me I was speeding in a work zone (the work zone had ended about 2 miles back) but let me off with a warning. Holy crap, I owe some good karma or something. We got home, got the kids upstairs, and got ourselves into bed by 4am. Poor N had to be at PT at 6:20, he got to sleep a bit on the ride home, but was totally miserable when the alarm went off. So, that sums up my weekend... how was yours?
