Vegas or Bust...Part 1

With our time in DC through, the long trip west was ready to begin.  Knowing that Darrell would be very busy with his clinical assignment when we got to Vegas, we decided to make a vacation out of this move.  So our first overnight stop was Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg.  What a place!  Definitely not on the cheap side, but there was something fun for everyone in our crew.  So to me it was well worth it!



Heading out for Mycah's first swim.  


He has quite the little personality.


Catching a wave!


Even Dad had a blast!


Nay loved the basketball pool.


Sometimes it was a little overwhelming.


But I still think he had fun.


Silly boy!



Love this laugh!



Although Williamsburg was a blast, we had more fun times waiting for us.  One of the highlights of our trip was stopping in NC to visit some friends.  We grabbed an early dinner that day at Chick fil a just so we could visit with Lucy and her family.  



Lucy and Mycah had been in the same orphanage in Guangdong.  For about a year now, her mom and I have been in touch via the internet.  Lucy's family traveled in August, and they were able to meet Mycah while they were there.  They were able to get great pictures and videos of him which was such a blessing to this anxiously waiting mama!  We aren't quite sure how much time they spent together, or if they even remembered each other, but they sure hit it off big that day!  And it was a joy to watch.



The next few stops are a blur.  We stayed in Cherokee, Pigeon Forge, and then on to Memphis.  





And then the stop I had been looking forward to for months...Little Rock!  Not that I was excited about the location, but we were all terribly excited to stop and see the Brakman bunch.  This was the first time our little Asians had met.  







And, of course, the bigs enjoyed their time together!  Probably a little too much at times.  

And we even managed to get out for a "Mom's only" breakfast and Wal-Mart trip one morning.  The peace and quiet was almost more than two moms with 9 kids can stand.  But not quite :-)


Our time was over way too quickly, but we still had 4 more stops to go before Vegas.  Getting closer!
