This weekend Jamie and I spent time with our families. Christina was finally able to come home for a visit, as she has taken a job in DC and we don't get to see her as much as we used to. My brother had been working in Cincinnati last week, and had gone down to Louisville, KY to see my Aunt Linda and Uncle Steve for the weekend. So, my mom, dad, and my Aunt Louise drove up to Kentucky for some family time there. Jamie stayed here so he could spend time with his sister and take care of our babies. :) We both hated we didn't to everyone, but we couldn't be in two places at once. Either way, we were thankful for family time together! Unfortunately, since I took the camera with me, there are only pictures from the Kentucky trip. Hope you enjoy!
Even though it was a short trip, it was a fun one!! There are always lots of adventures (and laughs) when the Beavers get together with the Mudds! :) And this time, we were lucky enough to have my Aunt Louise, who is home from Mexico, join us. After we arrived on Friday, we enjoyed dinner at Outback, and then went out for some shopping. It doesn't take me long to find a mall. :) After a great night's rest, we had a delicious breakfast compliments of my Aunt Louise who makes the most spectacular homemade biscuits ever! YUMMY! Aunt Linda made us some sausage and bacon too! Next was day 2 of shopping. Linda took us to this great store called Deals, which is apparently owned and operated by the same company as Dollar Tree and it was very much like a Dollar Tree except items went up to five dollars. And, man did I rack up on some deals! After a few more stops, we decided to go to Cold Stone Creamery, my favorite!!!! I had my usual-sweet cream and strawberries and enjoyed every bite. Once we got back home, the ladies started in on dinner. We had taken lots of fresh veggies out from the garden to Linda's to share so we decided to just fix those along with some fried chicken. I love cooking with my mom and her sisters....I always learn so much. They are all terrific cooks. And the conversation....delightful! Following dinner, we took time to look through old family photos. I love hearing stories about my family I have never heard before.....I'm glad I'm at an age where I can appreciate them. Sunday morning was my morning to make breakfast, which couldn't compare to Louise's breakfast, but I gave it my best shot with homemade cinnamon rolls. Then, we did some last minute shopping (which included helping my Aunt Louise buy her first pair of Crocs) then had dinner at Five Guys! What an experience that was....a very good burger too! Matt and Steve did a good job choosing! Then it was time to head home. It was a short trip, but one that was filled with lots of family memories, laughs, shopping, and good food. What more could a girl want?
