Traveling Fools

I don’t know about y’all but I’m worn out! Plum worn out! We’ve gone and gone and gone a little more until I’m about ready to demand a good NO PLANNED weekend at HOME, yes HOME SWEET HOME! I love to vacation, see friends and family, but sometimes it can really wear a person out! I’m there! And I have 1 more long car trip to make this coming weekend. :(

Anyways, we traveled this Labor Day. We always enjoy being the statistic and driving on holidays. :) We headed to Jackson Friday at 5, got there about 8, saw our 2 sweet nephews and BIL & SIL, and then Kody’s grandma. Our nephew Drew was really surprised to see us and just hugged and hugged on us. He was speechless! HA! Drake was already asleep, but Erica let us peak in at him and man oh man, has that boy grown!!! Literally, filled out! He’s PRECIOUS!! Drew was always a skinny minny, but not Drake. And we’re loving it!

We were in bed fairly early as it was a long day and we had a long day ahead of us! My in-laws were getting in between 2 and 3 a.m. from Las Vegas for a bank trip. We didn’t even hear them come in! We were all up around 7 and headed to Kentucky about 8:15! Kaci and Luke were already at the lake house when we got there and we changed and got ready for the boat. I snapped a few of these shots of sweet Drake shortly before going out on the water.

 

We weren’t sure how Drew and Drake would do out on the water, but they did perfect! Drake nearly was choking half the time in his life jacket, but finally got to breathe for awhile with it off. He even dipped his feet in the water. Drew wasn’t so sure of the water, but had a really good time on the boat. We enjoyed most of the day on the water and came in right before it started looking like rain around 4 something.

We celebrated MeMaw’s birthday that night after dinner with a DQ Heath cake! YUM!

  

We woke up to rain and cooler weather on Sunday! Bummer!! No lake time! We ended up going into Paducah and shopping at the mall and having lunch at Penn Station. Kyle, Erica, and the boys went home about 3 and we headed back to the lake house. We rested for awhile and then grilled and went into town for DQ as dessert! Perfect weekend with too much dessert! ;)

Monday we got up and headed home shortly after breakfast. We were back in West Plains around 3. I feel like I have to come back to work to rest. :)

I leave Sunday for Kansas City for a couple of nights for work. Any good places to recommend for dinner near Crown Center? Like a nice place?? Leave a comment! I’m going with our city council and they always like to do it up right! Too bad I won’t have time to shop!

Hope y’all are having a good, short week!
