Saratoga Springs

Last minute (actually Saturday morning to be exact) we decided to hop in the car and spend a weekend in Saratoga Springs. It is about 4 1/2 hours from Buffalo and located 30 minutes from Albany in Upstate New York. We are beginning to think about where we would like to end up after Jay's oral surgery program is completed.  Besides the craziness of having all five of us sleep in one tiny hotel room which had two fire alarms throughout the course of the night, we had a good time.
 Theo rolled all over the bed! He is going to be crawling soon.
 The boys were super excited to go swimming in the hotel pool!  Luckily another family let us borrow their floaties, since we didn't have enough hands to watch the two boys swim and Theo on the side lines. 
 All ready for bed. It took them awhile to settle down. After Jay and I camped out in the bathroom, however, they ended up falling asleep.
 I love this little man!!
 Finally asleep!
 The next morning we headed to church, found a bagel shop for lunch and then checked out the Saratoga Childrens' Museum. It was the perfect size for our little kiddos. 

 Jacob in the tree house.
 Saratoga Springs is a gorgeous city with lots of fun artsy shops, restaurants, art studios, etc.  The parks looked like they'd be beautiful in the summer and the lake was another pretty spot. It is a wealthier area due to the race tracks and casino.  We decided that we'd probably rather visit here then actually settle down and live here. We shall see what the future holds!
 Jacob the firefighter. These boots were huge on him!
Look at Theo's morning hair! He's enjoying his morning fruit!
