Travelin'

There's nothing like a road trip with a 10-month-old. :) Actually...it went really well and I can't complain. We just got back from a very quick trip to Tennessee to visit Billy's grandparents. We drove down with Billy's parents...leaving on Monday morning and getting back home Wednesday night. It was about a 6 hour trip with a couple of stops. It was great to visit with them for a bit. I had never met some of Billy's family, so it was nice to finally get to know them. We stayed at his grandma's house, and had a great time! She filled us full of her famous ghost stories, and tales about her crazy neighbors. (I went running one morning while we stayed there...and in typical grandma fashion she worried about me the whole time I was gone...warning me to watch out for "picker-uppers".) This was both of Billy's grandparents first time meeting our wild man, and he, as usual, has never met a stranger. He broke in all of great-grandma Barron's furniture with his teeth, and hung out with the goats at great-grandpa Barron's house. There was 4 generations of Barron's at grandpa's house...so we had to take a picture!This is Billy, his grandpa Frank, Merrick, and Billy's dad Tom. We got to tour the old house on Grandpa Barron's property, that was built back in1862. Both houses are full of lots of old family pictures, and we got to hear a lot of interesting family history from both grandparents. It was a quick trip, but it was good to see the family. We were all reminded of how precious time is, and how much there is to learn from the people around us.
