Short but Sweet Family Get-Together

We traveled north 2.5 hours this weekend to go visit my parents and brother and my hubby's brother and his wife (they happen to live in the same city). Turns out my hubby's parents who live 4 hours away from us, decided to go visit his brother on the same weekend.
We wanted to have dinner with both sides of the family but were only arriving Friday evening and leaving Sunday afternoon. SO we decided to all go together. I wasn't sure how it would turn out since both families have very different social backgrounds. The only thing they have in common is their faith(thankfully). When it comes to backgrounds, I grew up with parents on welfare and hubby grew up with parents giving him a $300 allowance each month (so you get the picture, lol).
But all went well... we had a very nice dinner at Doan's Vietnamese Restaurant which suited every one's taste AND wallet. They had really only, up to that point, spent time all together at our wedding.
My lil' boy was the star of the night of course, with all the attention from 4 gandparents :) .
