Ok despite the laughs and confusion about our family vacation we had a lot of fun. Being that Kelton is in the Air Force we can stay on bases for really cheap and get to hang out and take advantage of all the fun stuff there is to do. Now the "funny" part. The closest base to us is in Clovis, New Mexico. Now Clovis is not the typical vacation destination in fact it is really ugly and not appealing at all! However we wanted to get away and it is only 2 hours away so we loaded the van up and told the kids we were going on vacation. We had a BLAST!! We stayed on base and went bowling that night which the kids loved. We then watched TV stayed up late in our hotel which is always exciting. The next day we of course went to the base exchange and spent some money and even participated in a cookie contest...I was a judge, yummy. The base has a bunch of old airplanes so the kids ran around them and got to see how big they are. For lunch we ate at the burger king on base and then headed home. It really doesn't sound very exciting when I type it out but we really enjoyed ourselves. I think it was nice to just get away and spend time with each other and not worry about the laundry or school. We are definitely going to take another Family Vacation to Clovis, New Mexico.
