Travelblog day 1

Day 1: Sadly we had to say goodbye to Austin this morning to begin the first day of a 2 week or so long journey cross country... We left at 8:30 from our friends' house. We're going to miss you all!!

Evie was the only one not sad, she was excited for the car trip..

We packed a ton into the new CR-V including 2 cats, Evie and Lou..

We went through Dallas (pic below) all the way to Muskogee OK

Prissy was pretty comfortable...Bunny is a little more freaked out.

Louie was Evie's companion for the first half. Then mom or dad rode with her to keep her occupied. So "dog was our copilot" in the passenger seat for the second half of the trip.

Tomorrow we head off to Laurie Missouri to the cabin and to see Jack's brother and his family as well. They're trip through Missouri happened to coincide with ours and we're so excited to see everyone!

Good night all. We're exhausted and will hopefully sleep well. This LaQuinta has feather pillows! I'm so excited - night night!!

...and beyond

I guess the "and beyond" part of our website begins today. We are sad to leave Austin, we have had such a good time here. more adventures to come we hope stay tuned

on hold

Evie was being fussy in the backseat so I gave her my phone, and Rx and I continued to talk...

about 3 min later, we both look back because we havent heard any sounds from her... We burst out laughing when we saw her, just holding the phone to her head, with a bored look on her face... I guess she has seen us on hold a lot over the last month and was imitating us... it was extremely funny...

then we giggled her up a bit, but she remained on hold for the rest of the car ride..

more vacation pics.. no commentary necessary

Beachin it at Port Aransas!

We are vacationing on the gulf coast (the part not covered in oil)

Fun times have been had.
Evie is a mermaid!

and a cowgirl!

The GPS device was a little taken aback at our ferry ride

Good times!

We were invited to a lovely barbeque on the Sunday before Memorial Day. Got a couple pics of the cutie swimming. She had a blast and was hamming it up for everyone there. Smiley girl!


Evie and her friend, Ruby, swimming. They both just love the water - so much fun.
