Last week I was Louisiana all week. David left on August 5th to work in California for a little over a week, so the boys & I made the trek to Louisiana by oursleves. Have I mentioned how well the boys travel?!? Now, we travel A LOT so they are defenitly experienced. It still amazes me every time how well they do. I might be a little hard core, too :) We got up early on Saturday, August 6th and I knew that we were going to try to make it to Ruston. Now, for those of you that don't know that is a 995 mile trip. Yep....loooong way. We have never gone that far in the car in one day. They boys did amazing! We stopped 3 times. That's right...3 times. When we stopped to fill up on gas we pottied and got food. We made it in pretty much record time as well. Total travel time was 15 hours. Like I said.....amazing! We were all glad when that trip was over.
The week was full of family time. Rachel & Anna Kate (my step-mom & sister) were gone on vacation to the beach so it was only my dad at home. The boys LOVED hanging out with Papa G. They just laughed and played for 7 days straight. Dad would come home for lunch and they would just about attack him at the door. When he would get home for the day, all they wanted to do was be with him. They would help feed Avery (the dog), go for golf cart rides, wrestle, and watch baseball.
We also got to go to Memaw's (David's mom) house. She loved watching them and I got all kinds of stories about David & Doug (David's twin brother). I have to say I am a little scared of what it to come :)
David flew in to Dallas on Thursday. So the boys didn't have to ride in the car for another 8 hours my dad watched them overnight. It was a good thing! David's flight didn't get in until 3:30am on Friday monring & we were on the road back to Ruston by 7:30am. That would have made for a rough time with the boys. When we got back in town we were able to meet dad & the boys at Johnny's for some YUMMY pizza. Of course the boys were ecstatic to see David. That's always fun to see.
Lastly, but certainly not least we went to the wedding of Jennifer & Doug. This was the whole reason we made the trip. Jennifer was absolutey stunning & Doug was beaming. We are glad that we were able to be there & not miss such a wonderful occasion! Congratulations guys!
After the wedding we drove to Dallas to spend the night with Erin & AD. We got to see them a couple hours on Sunday morning before we had to make the drive back to Colorado Springs. The boys love them some Parker & Caroline. They didn't want to leave them, but we had to. Good thing we will see them all again in just a few weeks!
After all was said and done I drove a total of 2,780 miles. WOW! It was all worth it though :)
