We had our first family vacation since C. was born. And our first road trip with A. that was longer than 4.5 hours. We travelled down to Kentucky for a little R&R. I have many, many.....many pictures coming...but until I get caught up at work (which will likely take longer due to my delaying and creating a blog post), they will have to wait. Hopefully I'll have them ready by tomorrow.
Until then, here's a few things I learned while on vacation:
- It is VERY handy to have grandparents in the car on a long journey.
- It is VERY handy to have a DVD player and Lighting McQueen in the car on a long journey.
- My husband does NOT like it when I sigh or inhale quickly due to his driving.
- He gets annoyed quickly with this.
- Very quickly.
- It is VERY helpful if I just don't look at the road.
- Indiana is a very long, very flat state.
- Kentucky is beautiful....sans the ticks, black widows, and snakes. (only one of which I saw)
- Zoo memberships save a LOT of money at zoos all over the country.
- I now know the difference between lateral and vertical caves.
- I am VERY grateful to have lost 40 pounds while in the vertical cave caverns.
- I am VERY grateful to have more stamina on long days spent walking...and walking....and walking.
- I can run anywhere, anytime. It's an exercise I can take with me - very easily.
- I enjoy gin and tonic's with a lime.
- It's easier to control gluten free eating when staying at a relative's house.
- Herbalife shakes saved my arse from a total backslide.
- Monster cookies are gluten free.
- Smore's taste sooooo good when using monster cookies instead of graham crackers.
- Bird feeders are fun to watch.
- C. and I can come within 50ft. of a HORSE and still maintain a stable breathing pattern!!!
- Time spent with favorite family members is refreshing for the soul.
