Trip

Well, guess I now have some time to post this. This is going to be mostly the trip my mother and I made to pick up my sister-in-law. My brother, MJ, got married back in late April and then later on deployed overseas. His wife, freshly out of high school, is basically new to this military life and out on her own. My husband and I hope to help her get some sense about finances and to not get carried away when she sees the paychecks. We also hope she can get a gripe of living on her own and get a life. But I will update as that goes on. He should return sometime in December.

On June 27, my mother and I left Texas and was on our way to Seabrook, NH. We made it around Jackson, TN and stopped for the night. June 28, ee got up early and was on the road where we drove on I-40, then got off on I-81 and went through Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and into Pennsylvania. Man, nobody told me how bad the fog could get in the mountains in Pennsylvania but we stopped around 2AM (EST). We got up on Monday, June 29, and experienced nature by seeing baby rabbits and humminbirds. Oh, I have to tell you that my mother and I love the laughing cow cheese. The ones in the small circles, they are awesome!!! Try them. Well, we were only 5 hours away and made it to Seabrook, NH after noon and stayed for like an hour and half before making our way back to Texas. We stopped back in Scanton, PA and stayed a nice hotel for three women and a female feline. I hated to rush them out of there by June 30, but just had to get as far as we can. Basically, due to an emergency call I received (will talk in the next blog) I tried to get us to Texas that evening, well the next morning. However my mother stopped me at 3AM outside of Little Rock. I only got a few hours sleep but allowed them to stay sleeping for another few hours. We got back in Abilene around 5PM Wed, July 1.

I have to say it was a fun trip with my mother and getting to spend more time with her, but I wished it was longer and we had more time. Again, I was pushed for time and I hated the fact I kind of went as well. Again, read the next blog (or it will be the first blog) to find out. I do have to say that I will never go back to New York. Too many rude people and I can't stand rude people. If we were to move, it will either be Colorado, Tennessee, Flordia, maybe Indiana (or Ohio) or just stay in Texas.
