Our Trip! :-)

TADA!!!!! Here it is! The long awaited and much put off blog post!
Because their were so many pictures taken and we went so many places, I decided to break this into different posts. So.....when you finish reading this one continue on to the one after it and so on and so forth.

This trip was much looked forward to by all of the family for several reasons.
The main one was being able to see family and friends that we haven't seen for awhile.
Without further a delay I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as we enjoyed experiencing it.

Our trip started on a Thursday afternoon. Dad and Mom decided, that the best plan would be, to head out of here at 3:00 P.M. drive half way stop for the night and continue on to our destination in the morning. Well.... things didn't turn out just as we had planned. Instead of leaving home at 3 we left around 5, due to a little van trouble. Our van had been idling for some time while we did a few last minute things. Ty eventually turned it off and when he turned it back on smoke came pouring out from under the hood! Now we have had van trouble before but not right before we were about to get in the van for a seventeen hour journey!
After looking at it for a minute Dad decided it doubtlessly had something to do with the air conditioning, which we had just repaired. (I am so grateful for a mechanically minded father!)
AnyHoo... Dad decided to drive it over to the place that put the AC in and have them fix it. So all of the rest of us headed back inside to "chill out" until he returned.
The problem was easily fixed and we were on our way!
We didn't end up stopping halfway because we lost two hours during that whole ordeal and because we lost another hour and a half to two hours in an Atlanta traffic jam. The good thing is we arrived safely at my Uncle's place on Friday.

Gracie talking to her friend in the window. She has quite the imagination!
But at least she knows how to entertain herself! Right? LOL! :-)
