Road Trip Time!
Posted on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 by Julie O'Keefe
It begins with the idea that mom and I are going to head to South Dakota to
visit with our family (mom's parents and siblings) the Monday after the 4th. It
was going to be easy because I would have already been north for the
holiday and then we could travel down together and just take Highway 23 back
home. Unfortunately, due to some medical problems grandpa was having, we ended
up delaying the trip until later in the week so we could spend more time with
him.
Mom end up heading down to Saint Cloud on Wednesday afternoon due to some
questionable weather that was threatening the range for Thursday. We spent a
wonderful day bumming around Saint Cloud, which of course included a trip to
Crafts Direct. We headed out of Saint Cloud early Friday morning and made
relatively good time, considering that we stopped almost hourly to give the dog
a break. Our extended weekend was spent hanging out with family, attending the
fireman's street dance and softball games. It was a great long weekend, but like
the weekend before we were excited to head home and get back to our normal
schedules. |
