On the evening of day 3 we decided to change up our plans a bit and head to the Gaylord Texan Resort on Lake Grapevine. They had a great teacher deal going that made it very affordable and we were really excited about it!
We got up early to get on the road! We arrived at the resort right at 3:00pm! We rested for a little bit and then went exploring and swimming in the fab pool! This place was huge! Everything really is in one place!

And then there was the pool…. ahhhh….
After exhausting ourselves in the pool, it was time for dinner. It was so nice because there are several different restaurants to choose from. We chose the family friendly restaurant with the HUGE tv that was playing the Boston vs. Rangers game! After dinner we found the little arcade and spent some time in there. Our vacation was quickly wrapping up!

We had a great time and it was a much needed family break! The next morning we headed even more north and made it back to our home in OK around 3pm. We feel so blessed that we were able to go on a trip this year.

In Jaxon’s words… “this was the best cation ever” …. Yes it was sweet boy, it was!
