Road Trip

Last Thursday we drove to Iowa/Kansas City without stopping (except for gas/potty breaks of course). Crazy you say? Yes. Very. But we are crazy like that. Sam got to stay in Spokane with friends and was more than happy with the arrangement. I dropped Mitch off in Iowa to go deer hunting and then kept going with Ben and Miss Lottie to visit the Machans in KC. They BRUTALLY moved away in June and the withdrawals have been awful. Fortunately, Ben and Noah picked right up with their friendship and were completely entertained playing together. Their conversations are priceless!




Gingerbread city at the mall. It was very impressive!

Lottie didn't sleep at all, but other than that she had a good time.
We had a good time too...
Now I can unpack just in time to drive to AZ next week! (also not stopping)
p.s. Lindsey just had the cutest little boy, Will, a little over a month ago, but I'm dumb and didn't get any good pictures of him. Trust me though when I say he is so amazingly handsome!
p.p.s. On the way home when we went through Bozeman, we stopped and saw Mitch's cousin Ben at his diner. He was pretty surprised and we had a great breakfast there (BEST french toast I've ever had!). I meant to get a picture of him in the kitchen, but I chickened out because I didn't want him to think I was a weirdo. I am a weirdo, but still.

Looks like a great trip! Why do the cool friends always move far away? Or in my case, I move away.

Trust me, with that photo, no one will doubt your weirdo status :)
Love the photos of Ben and Noah! So cute! I think you are insane for taking that long of a trip, but I'm glad you are doing it again to come visit AZ!!!

Wow. I forgot how much I don't miss you!!! Get back here! I really am planning on coming to Spokie in the summer.

Cute pics of your trip. What are Ben and Noah doing in front of the Christmas tree? I can't tell if they're praying or posing like thugs...and either one is equally possible.

You are one crazy lady! I can't believe you did that drive, and some on your own.
