Home from vacation

We had a wonderful time at Jeff's!! Only one problem......Tropical Storm Hermine dropped torrential rain there. ha ha They were happy because it hadn't rained there in a couple of months, but it made for lousy sightseeing!! And.... wouldn't you know the rain followed us most of the way back home. (through Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky)
Enough of that! It was great to see Jeff, Julie, Jenna, and Josh!! Their house is gorgeous. The trip was fun and traveling with the Carroll family was great.
We stopped at the Loretta Lynn ranch.

It was beautiful!

This the mill across the street from the house.

We stayed in Jackson, TN the first night. Then we drove to Dallas to stay for two nights because Jenna was having soccer tournaments there.

One of the days that we were at Jeff's in Pflugerville, we drove to Austin to tour the capitol building. Wow it was beautiful! Here are Jenna and Josh out front.

Coming home we stopped at the welcome center in Memphis and I got my picture taken with Elvis!!!!

Texas Bound!

We leave tomorrow for Texas!! I finally get to see where Jeff lives!! Woo Hoo!! I've only been west of Nashville once and that was the southern route on St. Route 10.
We'll be going with Missy, Mark, Bethany, and Ben. We're driving their mini van. The plan is to switch drivers occasionally so no one gets too tired. Bethany has her learners permit and wants to drive some, too. (not so sure that's a good idea going down--it'll be Labor Day weekend on super highways)
Missy is really excited to cross over the Mississippi River!! haha
I'll post some pictures when we get back.
