Cross Country Trip - Part 1

We bought a 27.5 ft RV to trek across the country this summer to have Isaac meet all of his family and some of our friends.  The trip was 3 weeks long, and we were able to bring Kodah and Balin along too!  Kodah enjoyed sitting in the front seat, and I enjoyed sleeping in the back with Isaac! :-)

Stop #1 - Silver Creek, NE
Our friend, Nick, happened to be there this same week for his cousins wedding, and we really enjoyed being able to see his grandparents again, Memaw and Pa Pa.  It was a nice evening visit, and then we were up early to head to MN.

Stop #2 - Mankato, MN and Owatonna, MN
We made it back here in time for my oldest nephew, Cody and Myranda's wedding.  It was very special for me to be a part of it, as my whole family was together again for the event.  I thank Joe for making this happen for me.  Isaac also got to meet his Great Grandma Shaw, the rest of his cousins, aunts, uncles, great aunts and uncles, and even great-great aunts and uncles. ;-)  Lol!

Stop #3 - Germantown, WI
My best friend, Mandi, and her family welcomed us all into there home for dinner and an evening visit.  It was so great to see her two boys.   Isaac loved to play with her kids and they knew exactly which toys to pull out for a little boy.  I'm so happy we made the stop to see them.

Stop #4 - Cardington, OH
Way out in the middle of nowhere, was wonderful plot of land and was cute house. The dogs were in heaven to play with a black lab named Bear.  Joe's Uncle, Barry, had a great place for us to stop and visit.  They seemed to have a nice time catching up and working on the RV a little bit.  Then off we went for part 2 of the trip....the east coast!
