Country Roads, Take Us Home to the Place We Belong!

We had a great time visiting Great Grandaddy and Nani Lois in West Virginia. We drove up this past Wednesday and surprised Grandad on his birthday. It took us about 9 hours to drive up there, but we stopped for lunch and for dinner for about 45 minutes each, and then stopped a few times to let the kids stretch and go potty.

Thursday we had a nice dinner with the whole family, including Lois' children, spouses, grandchildren and great grandchildren. So, Seth was able to play with Christian (pictured above) in the evenings and they really got along quite well.


Friday we took Grandad and Lois out for lunch to celebrate their birthdays, took Seth for a swim at the hotel, and then had more family time in the evening to finish leftovers from Thursday and just hang out and have fun. It is always great to spend time with our family. Both Grandad and Lois looked really good. And of course John charmed them all with his adorableness.



The drive up and back was just beautiful, as WV, next to NY is just a wonderfully picturesque state. While our car wasn't too happy with all the mountains we drove over, there's just something about WV mountains that feels like home.
