I have had internet for about a week now, and I have tried to get back into commenting and reading other blogs. Otherwise, I'm still quite busy putting the house together and probably will be for some time.
I am very lucky that I had not one, but two, uncles living along our Utah-Michigan driving route. And in perfect spots, too.
Stop number one was just outside of Denver--just about an 8 hour drive for us from Cedar City.
When we got there, my aunt had bubbles ready for the stir-crazy, stuck-in-the-car-all-day girls, and they had a wonderful time blowing them and running around in the yard in general. Once all the wiggles were out, we had a lovely pasta dinner, bubble baths and great conversation over brownies after the kiddos were abed.
A fabulous end to the first of four long driving days, I say!
YEAH YOU ARE BACK! You had some wonderful guest posters, but I am very happy that you are back to post and to see your beautiful photos! Glad that you had a good moving trip, and that everything turned out all right with your house.
ReplyDeleteIt is so much fun to see family along the route! Glad you got to hang out and visit for awhile. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have good stops along the way!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you have returned safe and sound!
ReplyDeleteYeay! I'm glad you all made it there safely. Can't wait to see all the beautiful pictures and hear all the awesome stories. I'm sure you have a lot! :o)

ReplyDeleteNorm and Loni are priceless! I love them very much! And I KNOW they love you! Norm especially loved those little girls, he felt a lot of love from them.
ReplyDeleteSO happy to hear from you again!! Bubbles and brownies sound good....I may need to bust out the Duncan Hines.
ReplyDeleteSo, you've ARRIVED!! Let the adventure - er - CONTINUE!!
ReplyDeleteLove me some bubbles, as long as they're outside and not, hypothetically, upside down and leaking in a box on my living room rug.
Welcome back---good luck getting settled in your new home.
ReplyDeleteyay! you're back.
ReplyDeletethat does sound like the perfect ending to the first day of your l-o-n-g road trip.
Yay you're back. Can't wait to see your new home. I'm glad you made it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back! I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of your new home, but I know that things will be crazy for a while. (I guess things are always a little crazy.)
ReplyDeleteWe were able to stop at my brother's house on our way to Canada when we went. It is so nice to be able to stay with family--especially when you rarely get to see them.
You're back, you're back, you're back!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, hellooooo!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got to make some stops. The picture is beautiful, of course.
Peace!
Glad you're back. Can't wait for details.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got there safely! Whew!
ReplyDeleteWe just got back from a trip to Eastern Oregon from SLC. After 8 hours in the car with the kids on Friday and then another 7 hours in the car today (Sunday), I'm going crazy too!
I can't imagine 4 whole days of that! thank goodness for good family I guess. You must be 'plum wore out!'
Hooray for fabulous family! I can't believe you drove for four DAYS! We only make it to Idaho every other year because I HATE the drive.
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad you got there safely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect pit stop.
ReplyDeleteI wish all road trips had breaks like that.
So glad to see you made it safely! Hope you're able to find some time to enjoy your new digs!
ReplyDeleteAhhh I wondered if you were in Colorado when your daughter spoke abotu Chatfield Reservoir...
ReplyDeletelove those foothills over there!
