Road Trip! We packed up and drove to North Carolina for the weekend! We left the house at 8:30 pm. Drove to Target, got some Starbucks, diapers and formula. And off we drove into the night. Mariella did well. We stopped a few times for her to get out, burp, change diaper an repeat. Friday we had Darlene’s shrimp and crab stew…. ummmmm I am drooling just thinking about it! :-) Mariella got to meet some doggie friends for the first time! And she got to meet her Aunt Darlene too! She spent time with her Nanny, Parran and MeMaw. :-) It was a great weekend! We were Packing up Sunday to leave, and Pat said he would come pick me up next weekend if I wanted to stay. I was like Heck Yeah I wanna stay! I didn’t even think about staying or planning to stay. Mariella was comfortable, she had a crib and this amazing activity center we picked up from a neighbors garage sale for 10 bucks!
I had a wonderful visit. It went by fast! Mariella was showered with presents too! She is so loved! :-) The only bummer the entire trip is that her Parran got sick and for the last several days he had to stay his distance from her. And on Saturday when Pat came to pick us up… we decided to travel back that day (instead of Sunday) and her Parran didn’t get to kiss and hug her bye. :-( But we will go back soon!
