756 Mile Road Trip

756 miles.
13 relatives.
7 pictures.
3 days.
2 nights.
0 dogs
0 Emergency Room visits

Left work on Thursday afternoon and hopped into the car for a quick jaunt to see Grandma Bette, Grandpa Ron, Nana, Poppy, Aunt Linda, Uncle Fred, Cousin Kendyl and Cousin Jordan in the Tri-Cities (that's in Eastern Washington for those of you not from around these parts -- a long way away).











While in town we made a stop at George Washington Park on the Columbia River just to buy some Hawaiian Shaved Ice (and play on the playground) with Poppy.



Before we knew what was happening, we were back in the car and heading to Harstene Island (that's back in western Washington, FYI) to see Grandpa Dave, Grandma Margie, Aunt Rachel and Uncle Steve... plus a bonus visit with Grandpa Joe.

Unfortunately, the photographer failed to snap any pictures of those people. Instead, here is a picture of Alexia on the beach, looking at barnacles. Or possibly looking for Sponge Bob.



It was a whirlwind trip for sure, but I got to show off the cool fence-post caps I installed on the picket fence that no one had seen yet.



There's probably some pics and events that I need to post here between the K9 camp-out and the road trip, but I can't recall what they are right now.

Tonight, Nana and Poppy are here with us as we are getting ready for Mikayla's birthday party tomorrow... Happy 13th Birthday Mikayla!!!! Surely pics will be up in a few days about all that.
