My kids skipped school Friday afternoon. They had a 2 hour delay to begin with, so there was no point in sending them to school late and then take them out early. It was nice to sleep on and take our time getting things ready to go for the weekend.
I made breakfast before we left. Of course Lindsey automatically thinks a road trip needs to be started off with Starbucks. Well, hers came from the Keurig at home because we don't exactly have a Starbucks on every corner in our little town.
We stopped for gas and we werethen on our way. Yay!
Our first comp was Star Power in Charleston, WV. Our dances didn't start until Saturday, but we went down a day early to relax and let the girls have fun in the hotel pool.

We were about 30 minutes from our hotel when we stopped at McDonald's. How do you know your in the south? The sweet tea tastes better and you can't get Egg McMuffins, only biscuits. LOL My son was totally baffled by this.
We made it to the hotel, checked in with no problems, headed to our room and my kids automatically changed into swim suits. The pool over looked the lobby so we could slowly see people we knew trickle in to the hotel. Eventually there was a big group of us hanging out in the pool area.

| Enjoying the beautiful weather! The next day it was freezing with snow... |
I posted on FB where we were and a friend I graduated high school with commented that she lived around the corner. I asked her for dinner recommendations and the kids and I settled on Chinese. My daughter isn't a big fan and almost ALWAYS gets sweet and sour chicken because it's like chicken nuggests, but she loved this one! It was good, but basic Chinese food. LOL
