Hey there Blogworld :)
Hope this finds all doing fabulous with the sun in your face and the wind to your back
We returned from vacation last Thursday :) Was so happy to get home. Had a great visit with everyone :) We drove a total of 3141 miles spending 1105 dollar total (2 motel rooms, 200 cash, and 445 dollars in gas as well as some other money for food and such) for 5 people on 11 days of vacation. I think we did GREAT money wise :) The driving was crazy but in order to stop and see everyone we wanted to see we needed to drive. Next time we go to Michigan we will fly :)
We spent the first night in St Louis seen the arch the Mississippi River :) Second night we were at my girlfriends house in Michigan ...... had a great time catchin up on time :) Third day we were in Dearborn at the Ford Museum..... 3 hours of walking and walking (it is BIG) and alot to see. Third night we were in a campsite not far from my daddys in Coldwater Mi. My sister and her family were RV camping and we all spelt in a teepee that night. That was awesome and nice weather no need for a fan or a/c (like here in Texas LOL) My little guy as well as DH nephews (ages 11, 12) that we took with us got to roast marshmallows for the first time :) That was cool :)
Fourth day my sister and I drove to Indy just the two of us. We had time to talk and catch up. Everyone else rode in the RV with my BIL :) Nights Four, Five and Six we stayed at my brothers in Indy. Day Six we had my grannys 80th Bday party....... lots of people showed up and it was great :) All homemade and from the dollar store but it was so awesome........
Day Seven we headed to Kentucky to spend nights Seven, Eight and Nine with DH dad :) That was good. Day ten we headed for home spending the night in Arkansas....... in a hotel and swam in the pool and just relaxed. We left on Day eleven to finish our way back to Central Texas. The trip was great and as I said we seen alot of people and said Stop, Dont, Quit more then a million times with three boys in the back seat for all that driving :) My neices have grown so much ( I had not seen my sisters girls for 5 years) We are all getting together again in May in Arkansas for my brothers 2nd daughters high school graduation :) I almost cant wait until then :)
Ok now for reality.... I gained weight on vacation..... not gonna say how much. I am striving to get it back off plus 3 more lbs by the 27th the next doctor visit :) So I will report the gain/loss then :) One good thing this time we went on vacation though is when we got home I came "OFF" vacation food wise :)
