Vacation in The Woodlands

This weekend we ventured down to The Woodlands for a vacation with my parents. We stayed at The Woodlands Resort and Conference Center. It was great!! I will tell you about our trip through our pictures!!



There were 4 swimming pools on the property: 1 in the back that was more for adults, 1 was a toddler pool where we spent our time on Friday afternoon, 1 was the big pool where we spent Saturday afternoon and evening- it has a volleyball net and basketball goal set up at all times and a huge slide, the last pool was on the other side of the property.


Here is Hudson playing in the splash park.
Our family at dinner on Friday night at Paul's favorite place to eat- which is only in the Houston area- Guadalajara.

Saturday Mom and I took the kids to the mall while Dad and Paul played their 2nd round of golf.

At the mall we played in the playscape area, shopped a little, Hudson built 'Woody' a puppy at Build-A-Bear, and at yummy food at The Cheesecake Factory. The boys came over on The Woodlands Resort Escalade to join us for lunch.
Hudson was able to go to the Children's Museum with Paul while Mom and I shopped. Hudson enjoyed the train table.
And LOVED the digging area.
On Saturday evening, we hung out by the pool and ate dinner. Ella wasn't crazy about the idea!!
At dusk, they brought around glow sticks and necklaces. EVERYONE enjoyed them. They show a movie every Friday and Saturday evenings during the summer- Saturday night, they were showing Cars- Hudson's favorite movie. It was great!! Ella and Hudson didn't last the whole movie, but we did enjoy it!!



On Sunday, ate a big breakfast at the buffet and then walked around at the resort- the pro-shop and the golf course.

Three of my favorite boys!!
On our way back to the room, these two ducks started following us....we didn't have any bread, but we had goldfish. The ducks were so hungry that they ate right out of Hudson's hand. After our food was gone, Hudson told the ducks, "Go get in the water, Ducks!!"

Hudson & Ella playing in the fountain.


I LOVE this picture!!!
On our way home, we got to stop by and see my Papaw Willingham. Ella was so sweet with him.
Ella was so tired, she slept most of the way home.
My precious boy did so well on the long trip.
We had such a great time on the 1st annual trip to The Woodlands- hopefully we can go back again next year with the whole family!!

I loved being able to play golf with Paul while the girls entertained the kids! And to think the girls planned the trip. All are welcome to come with us next year Brian & Tif.

Next year the girls are going to leave the kids with Paul and Eddie while the girls go to the spa and go shopping and swim at the pool and read and relax part of the time.
It was a great trip and the girls will plan it again next year with a few additions.We loved the trip and the pictures.
Love,
Mom/Nana
