Family Vacation Time - Day One

Today was the beginning of our first family vacation with all 5 of us.  Donna and I asked the man upstairs to grant us patience to embark on what we hope will be 6 days of fun.  We are heading to Nashville as it's in driving distance and hey, it's somewhere we haven't been yet.  We've researched plenty of stuff that we can do with the kids so we are hoping for a great time.  I'm just hoping that at the end, Clark Griswold would be proud!!

Here is a picture of the (rented) Family Truckster (for definition see the movie "Vacation").  Yes, it is a minivan but a pimped up minivan with a DVD player, Sirius radio and all the good stuff.

Today we made it to Indianapolis which is almost half way.  We figured it was a good time to stop as the kids were good and why take our chances.  We enjoyed the hotel swimming pool and went out to eat at a local brewpub.  Amazingly enough, the kids were great at dinner and it was the best dining experience we've had thus far!!

The kids are now in bed and time for Mom and Dad to relax a bit before starting Day #2.  Watch out Nashville, here come the Burritts!!!!
