We made our first big drive through the country a few days ago.
Unfortunately, we were traveling to Matt's Great Grandmother's funeral.
She was 103!! What a long, beautiful life she must have had.
I never got the chance to meet her, but have heard that
she was a very sweet lady :)

It was a quick, two day trip and was mostly spent in the car.
There was a lot of beautiful scenery on the drive,
and I tried to capture a bit of it on my phone!

Seth was a trooper and only really made a fuss
when he was tired and just wanted to be in his crib.
For the most part, he put on a brave face and was great.

The drive really was a blast. Loading up the car
and traveling in a van with Matt, his parents,
and two brothers reminded me of the days when my
family would drive from Illinois to California
and visit family.
I will always kind of love long haul drives.
The trip has made me so excited for some
upcoming summer trips. Also my friend, Genni,
arrived late last night from Chicago!!
I'm so excited to share this beautiful
country with her :)

When somebody lives to 103 it makes a funeral a little less depressing. Sympathies to Matt though. Glad it was still a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that, but I'm sure she had a fulfilling life!

So sorry about Matt's great-grandmother. It looks like a beautiful drive though! I love road trips sometimes. Your little boy is so stinking cute!
ReplyDeleteyeah!
ReplyDeleteRoad trips are just the best. Especially with such beautiful scenery. I went on a road trip once from Georgia to California to visit family and it was so much fun. We stopped off everywhere to explore. My favorite was the Grand Canyon.
