I say "again" because we were just there 3 weeks ago when we visited Kerry & Hugh for the St Patricks Day parade and spent some time with the family. But its our tradition to spend Easter together too so that's what we're going to do.
Spouse reluctantly agreed not to take the dogs with us. I plead my case as follows:
- there is no advantage to going to VA after work/dinner on Sat since we would arrive just in time to go to bed, therefore we should just go there and come back the same day
- there is no reason to take the dogs with us because they would not be "with us" at Spouse's brother's house because our dog Marvin does not get along with his dog Pepper, therefore our dogs would be sleeping in their crates at Spouse's mom's house while we spend the day at at his brother's house
- not bringing the dogs frees us up from needing to take them outside for multiple bathroom breaks and eliminates the stress we feel that Walter may pee in Spouse's mom's house. (He's still a puppy and is still working on house training.)
- since both dogs are used to sleeping in their crates while we are at work, they will be fine until 5pm when our neighbor comes over to let them out to relieve themselves, take them for a walk, feed them, and play with them

Its nice to get a day without the boys, and sure does help with stress wondering about potty mistakes, or doggie arguments. I'm glad you won the puppy battle!
