On the Road Again...


I wanted to be sure to include this cute little fox cub (I know it doesn't totally fit in with this post, but whatever). My parents live in a really nice neighborhood, and a few months ago they discovered a foxes den down the street. It was quite the exciting event when several fox cubs were found to be living there. My mom posted a video of them walking around and barking, but by the time we got there they were a little more cautious. I was afraid I would not get to see them, but one day we happened to drive by the den and this little guy was sunning himself. I had my camera so I snapped a few pictures of him!

About a week after Brad and Jessica's wedding we piled back into the van (not fully recovered from our 18 hour drive from Cambridge to Louisville), and headed for Spokane Washington (a 30 some hour drive) where we will spend the summer (if we're not kicked out before then). We broke the drive into three days and two hotel stays (WOO HOO) and got to see some really cool stuff, unfortunately the kids were glued to the TV and missed all the cool stuff along the way. I would try to point things out to them, but Bennett would miss whatever I was telling them to look at and spend the next 20 minutes whining "I not see it"...

I didn't think to take pictures of everything, but I got a shot of the St. Louis ARCH, a great sunset in some state I don't remember (probably Montana), and several pictures of the Mountains of Washington. You gotta admit it's "It's own sort of pretty".

Hey Amanda, I think we were making the same trip around the same time. We went from Chattanooga to Sequim, Wa - a 44 hour drive. It took us what seemed like forever - four whole days. I think you will have a better summer weather wise then in Kentucky!!

Well, Susie, I don't know about that. It is in the high 80's and the pool feels great!! Landon and Addie swam 3 or 4 times yesterday and have already swam twice today. And, those mountains are pretty but not as pretty as those foxes in my neighborhood. We still miss you.
