We left on Friday the 4th to go to Wichita, KS to see my nephew Dustin and his wife Valerie and their 3 sons Christopher (Yes...he is married to a Valerie and they have a son named Christopher, lol!), Jacob, and Taylor ages 5, 2, and 8 months.
Here my son Chris is driving (see that Kansas flatland in the background?). In my van was Chris and his girlfriend Kristina, Holly, her son Eric and his girlfriend Megan, and me and Elizabeth (so it was filled to the max...my mom and dad brought some of our luggage in their van because mine was so packed). It took us a long time to get there, because we took our time with long, frequent breaks (for Elizabeth). It was nice because none of us were in a hurry. We left Monroe around 7:30 am and we got to Dustin's house around 4:30 pm.
We took our time coming home, too. We brought highway 54 home through Fort Scott, KS (See picture below). We also stopped and rode go-carts, bumper boats, and played 18 holes of putt-putt golf and we still made it home by 10pm Sunday night.
We had a great weekend! Mom and Dad also met out there on Friday. My brother Gary (Dustin's dad), his wife Karen, and his son G.W. arrived on Saturday. We celebrated my dad's 75th birthday while we were there. We played lots of cards. We slept at Dustin's and made ourselves at home. They made us feel very comfortable and they have a beautiful home. You know I love to take pictures, but I wish now I would have taken even more of those beautiful boys.
