Today we all piled in the car and went up to have lunch with Chris' aunt and uncle. She made lasagna and the kids ate pizza. It's about a 2 hour drive from Heather's house. The drive up there was beautiful. Lots and lots of green trees and lots of rivers and ponds too. I have to say, when it comes to gorgeous highways, Virginia has California beat, hands down! At around 4:30 p.m. we packed up the kids and drove another 15 minutes down the road to have dinner at Chris' grandparents house. What a wonderful cook she is. We feasted on pork loin roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, fresh broccoli, fresh corn and homemade rolls. I'm afraid to step on the scale tomorrow! They live about 15 miles outside of Washington D.C. It took us almost 3 hours to get back home. Ryder screamed the last 50 minutes of the trip and Summer and I almost couldn't take one second more. Tyler kept his composure and I was very proud of him. We finally walked in the door at 9:55 p.m. The kids changed into their p.j.'s and went right to bed. It was an exhausting day. I can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store for all of us!
