Should you have called your W? Eh, probably just for courtesy so she'd know where they are. Again, as far as you understood, the kids were your responsibility for the weekend. Again, you've got a life on your own. My opinion is, she saw that and freaked a little.
Excellent points, H. Plus, it's not like no one knew where the kids and I were going. I told my good friend and his fiance (who W works with), so I figured that W might find out anyway -- just didn't think it would be as big of a deal as it was. You're right though: as far as I understood it the kids were my responsibility for the weekend, and where does a person draw the line for needing to call the other parent about their comings and goings? Is it a certain distance from town, staying somewhere else overnight, leaving the kids with a new babysitter? I must say that my W never told me when she began taking the kids to OM's house to spend the night (I heard it from them), nor did she tell me about moving in with him (heard that from the kids too). A little bit of hypocrisy displayed...

Er, why would this matter? She's got OM, right? Hmmmmm.
LOL! Excellent point again. This was the one part of the conversation that seemed a little far-fetched. I can kind of see her point (if something extreme were to happen), but I was only gone for 2 days and 1 night. Plus, even if I were to call her and tell her what was going on, she wouldn't have been able to reach me because their is no cell phone service in the river canyon and she knows that.
