OK, the drive from hell to the kids place. First, we left in 8 degree weather with it snowing. Chattanooga was crash city on the hill of I-24. So we elected to take back roads around. By the time we cleared the pass north of Chatta, it was -5 degrees oustside and the window washer fluid froze. By the time we got there I was wired to hell from white knuckles, but we got there safely.

We got there a day early, so we had two days to just spend time at their home and enjoy Christmas together.

Kiawah is the most spectacular place and hotel that I have stayed in a long , long time. Thank You Kids for dragging us along.

We stayed in the room next to the presidential suite in which had the most incredible view of the ocean. Stella practically lived in our room which was awesome, crafts, "Minecraft Uno", and really good food.

We enjoyed the pool, the area and then on my birthday, we went into Charleston and walked around this old town. Beautiful place, and then for lunch ate on the dock with view of ships and ocean.

March trip.
This is my family!

We went back during March just to spend a long weekend with the girls. It was nice being with family. We stayed at local hotel this trip and used the pool for some fun times with the girls.
Stella came and stayed all night with us, it was her first big venture out with Guppy and Nini at a hotel room.
It was our first break in quite some time, as we were working on barn every weekend.
Lucy and Jeannine went to a local pottery shop to create. It was a good trip.

The big stay over at Guppy and Nini's for a week.

Lucy got to stay with her grandmother in Montana and Stella stayed with us at the farm in Tennessee. We had only been living there for two weeks when they came. Things were still kind of in a mess.

Jeannine and Stella slept in the RV. We had a hide-a-bed in there for her, there was pool time, fishy time, marble run, lego time, being silly time, fort time, birdy watching, researching sparkly rocks and watching Katy Perry music video's. The most favorite times were, glow sticks, butter crackers, and her excavator. We also went down to the McBerg park several mornings to bike ride and play in the playground.
