Road Trip

This weekend, Kevin had a conference in Las Vegas. Since he was leaving town, we decided to hit the road too. We drove to see Nana & Paw-Paw and Mimi & Pop-Pop in our neighboring state. But first, we stopped along the way to visit some friends in our old city at a really fun play place. Gaylee and her crew came out to spend the morning with us playing on the indoor playground and in the arts & crafts room. I was so tickled her baby Thomas's first experience with paint. He wasn't sure if he liked the pretty colors more on his paper or in his mouth! :-) Thanks, Gaylee Girl, for hanging out with us and making our long drive seem a little shorter!

After spending the morning playing with friends, we made the rest of our drive. It usually takes us about 5 1/2 hours drive time, but this trip took over 7! The weather was awful - freezing cold (with the heater going out on my truck!!!) and torrential downpours! It rained and rained and rained, sometimes so much that I couldn't see 2 car lengths in front of me. Finally, when we made it safely to the border between our states, I saw the sun for the first time. It struck me as odd because the border between the dark rain clouds and the bright sunshine was very sharp, and it was just exactly over the literal border between the 2 states!
