"T" is for Texas It's about that time again, time to take a trip to the heartland and visit Dave's family in good ol' Gilmer, TX. We are packing up (okay, so I should be packing now instead of blogging) and heading out tomorrow for a family vacation to visit Dave's side of the family. Our kids are so excited to be visiting grandma and grandpa, aunt Jennifer, uncle Kenneth, cousins Jessica, Spencer and Seth, and aunt Becky. It's been just about 2 years since we've been back to Texas. The last time we drove there for Dave's sister Julie's funeral. This time we are flying to Texas. We were willing to attempt a two day drive, but we found a pretty good deal on plane tickets, and since we're planning to drive to Oregon in August to visit my brother, we thought we'd catch a plane this time instead.

The weather is gonna be hot, and grandma and aunt Jennifer have planned a trip to the waterpark, lots of swimming, and grandma has promised to have her freezer (or icebox as they say in Texas) filled with cold treats. We know we're gonna have a great time visiting our Texas family and can't wait until tomorrow when we leave. I promise to take lots of pictures and add them to the blog as soon as I get the chance. Later ya'll!
