Our Fourth Trip North

We left on Tuesday, April 15 when I was done with class at UCF and we headed for Ohio once again. We hoped to make it all the way there in one shot, but we chickened out somewhere in I-26 in South Carolina (AKA The State that Never Ends).

So, we arrived in Belpre on Wednesday afternoon and commenced a'vacationin'. We got to spend time with Whitney, Ryan, Hailey, Emma and Bill (the dog) and later we spent some time with Mark, Faith, Conor, Collin and Aidan...not to mention Uncle David, Aunt Leeann and Granmma Jo and Grandad. So many people and so little time.

We got to go to church in Salem and there the babies had a brief chance to see Grammy (Ruth). Sabbath and Sunday nights saw the arrival of Norman and Christina and then Uncle Dale and Aunt Janet respectively.

It was a vacation chock full of people. We enjoyed the time, but were ready to return home...so much so that we actually drove the 15 hours straight home (the babies did really well until we hit Florida and even then did pretty well...I think Cathy and I were crankier than the babies).

That'll probably end Cate, Eve and Jonah's "road tripping" for the first year of their life. July 21 will be here before we know it and then we'll start pounding the asphalt some more.
