Not a bad place to wake up on a Thursday morning…Cracker Barrel. And soon, my neck may straighten out (I hope). We stumbled into the restaurant early, with swollen eyes and messy hair. Breakfast was reliable, as always. Love that place! I had to get the Southwestern Scramble. And yes, it was as good as … Continue reading “A Hard Day’s Night”
Going to double-up here again! TUESDAY: We hit the ground running that morning. The sooner we could leave, the better…because we had about a 4 hour drive to the Grand Canyon and we wanted to have some time to enjoy it. The clear plastic bins survived…but we had quite a few more bags than when … Continue reading “Get Back”
Ok, this is going to be a speed round, to get you caught up with the end of Vegas and the beginning of the last chapter of our trip. But before I do that, I wanted to say two things: 1. Thank you so much for all the comments!! We LOVE reading them…and they are … Continue reading “We Can Work It Out”
Getting a little backed up on the blog here, but I want to do my best to catch you up! We are trying to make the best of things…and we’re certainly still having some fun…but there has also been a ton of coordinating to do, which has been eating up our free time. By Saturday, … Continue reading “Day Tripper”
Friday morning was a lazy morning. We had done SO many fun things in Vegas…and now we were wiped. 😉 Joe made more phone calls, and though very complicated, plans to get home were starting to take shape. But after laying around the hotel room and hanging around the coffee shop in the lobby, we … Continue reading “Ticket to Ride”
On Thursday morning, we were starting to feel a little more normal. We had a decent bedtime and a good night’s sleep. Our cross-country trip quickly turned international…as we left Germany for dinner the night before and headed to Paris for breakfast. There is a delightful and impressive buffet in the Paris hotel. Every food … Continue reading “Carry That Weight”
We slept very late on Wednesday morning… 😉 I was the first of the four awake, and I had one mission: update the blog! Free wifi – yes!! (My mom snagged this picture of me trying not to wake anyone with the glare of the screens. Haha!) A little disoriented, we managed to find our … Continue reading “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds”
We woke up to total peace and quiet on Tuesday morning. After our usual morning routine (rotating power from the coffee pot, chargers, and the A/C) we started getting ready to hit the road for a quick stop before continuing through New Mexico. Joe went outside to see the sunrise and unplug, and there was … Continue reading “Hello Goodbye”
On Monday morning, we woke up and just relaxed. For various reasons, over the last several days, we had to be up and moving out pretty quickly. But we only had a short drive ahead of us that day, so we had a little more time to rest. It was nice. They served free coffee … Continue reading “The Night Before”
When we left the Leavers’ ranch on Sunday morning, we headed north to Dallas. There is a church up there that we’ve heard a lot about and we were excited to get the chance to go for a visit. They had a 12:30 service, which was great, since it was over a two-hour drive from … Continue reading “Good Day Sunshine” (Part Two)
