Last Thursday Madelyn and I took a solo road trip...just she and I on the open road, East Texas bound again. I was a little worried about traveling that far with her by myself for the first time so we reluctantly dropped Clara off at my Mom's for her own weekend get-a-way. Then M and I headed on.
We stopped in Lufkin to have a bottle at Granny's, whizzed through my FAVORITE spot - Ray's Drive In - for a burger & fries...and of course a DP (they have great ice), then continued on. The last leg of our trip was tough. Madelyn cried...and cried...and cried. I turned up the radio and tried singing to her...she cried harder. Nothing to do but grit my teeth and drive. We got to Dad's, where she got kisses from Sir & Granna, then we gave her a quick bath, bottle and bed pronto!
The next day Nanny came to spend the night too! We loved spending time with her.
Saturday we loaded up and headed home. This time we decided to break up our trip at bit. We stopped at Granny's (where M met Cousin Carrie & Haleigh for the first time), and added Gran to our car. Traveling with a back seat passenger makes it much easier! We continued on, but stopped at Lolly's to spend the night and pick up sister Clara.
The next day Uncle Lou came and picked up Granny to take her back to Lufkin.
We enjoyed being able to visit with Granny, Nanny, Sir, Granna, Lolly, KK, Great Aunt Mimi, Uncle Lou, Cousin Carrie and Haleigh all in one trip...whew!
