2 Week Road Trip

We decided to take a road trip...since school is out, Daelyn starts kindergarten in the fall, nothing major happening in RS, I will be out for a couple months after surgery in June and mainly because Jarod will be traveling for work the next 2 weeks and we really want to see him :) WOW! I feel like I must justify myself...

Since I'm the worst blogger... here goes my attempt to play catch up. Although, I probably won't be able to post pics until we return... boring! oh well!!

We started off in Asheville. Jarod's aunt Gloria works at the Biltmore so they went for a tour & bike ride. We swam and had yummy Mexican for dinner. From there we headed to Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg TN. We took the kids on a monster truck ride (1st and last). WOW! interesting!
Then we went to the dinosaur museum and to Ripley's mirror maze. We ended up in Etowah TN at "The Little Children of the World" Headquarters for a weekend family reunion.


My grandparents, Dean & Peggy Houk (mom's parents), were celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary and this is what they wanted... so they hired cooks for all the meals. and we all had our own apartment with a mountain veiw.
Lots of beautiful scenery, mani, pedis, card playing, biking, and NO cable/cell service/Internet for 3 days (unheard of and yes I feel completely disconnected from the world). This was SERIOUS family time!! and believe it or not.... NO drama!! WOW!!

Then on to Macon... more pool time while Jarod works. Then to Savannah (our old stomping ground). I must say that it's much different on Riverstreet as a married parent of a 5, 4 & 2 yr old than a young single college student!! It was so fun. We had dinner at "Vics on the River" and then went to River Street Sweets for chocolate and pralines.

Next to Tallahassee FSU and finally end at my sister's house. We'll go to the beach a few days and then her baby shower is on Saturday. Tuesday I have my doctor's apt to schedule my ankle surgery. Recovery will be 6-8 weeks so I'm prepping myself all week that I will ask & accept help during those weeks of driveless recovery :)

  1. Wish I was closer to help you post-surgery. I am good at ordering a pizza for dinner and having it delivered. Let me know!
