Road Trip!

13 hours there; 12 hours back (thanks time zone change!).   Somehow we survived, all because of this wonderful invention - audio books.  They really help the time go by! 

Our long trek was rewarded by great family and great views.  TheHubs parents live on a lake in Missouri and while it's not exactly my cup of tea, the views are amazing.  This is what they look at everyday from their deck.




Being quasi city people, I think we all adjusted quite well to lack of cell phone reception and dial-up Internet.  Oh yeah, did I  mention their house is 25 min from "town"? 

The only minor issue we had was when TheHubs and I were taking out his parents fun Jeep for a ride.  Barkley must have thought we were leaving her for good b/c she broke off her leash and was barrelling down the road after us.  Luckily she hopped right into the passenger seat as if we simply forgot to take her ("Ok, we can go.  I'm here now.")

We took a road trip to see where TheHubs spend his high school years, but mostly, I enjoyed seeing his parents in their retirement life.  It's great to see that after years of hard work, they are making the most of their retirement and living life on their terms.

On a different note, my sister and BIL are coming to visit tomorrow!  YAY!  I'm on cloud 9 with all this family time.

Have a great rest of your week!
