Ohio Trip (Brief Review)

We haven't really said much about our trip to visit Angie's family in Ohio, other than to say that we had a good time and that it was a long drive. Here, then, is a brief review: We drove up Sunday night and arrived Monday morning. This was good, in that the kids slept a lot of the way, but not good in that there are many crazy, creepy people at the last gas station in Tennessee before the Kentucky border at 3:15 AM, whereas at that same gas station on the way back at 7:30 PM or so, everyone was easy-going and friendly. Upon arrival, we slept a while.

That evening we played outside:

The next two days we went swimming and played with Angie's cousins' children:


On Thursday, we went to the Air Force museum, which wore Maggie out and made Joshua hot and thirsty. Angie's uncle was there to help:


Friday, we went to visit Angie's mom's grave with Angie's grandmother:

That evening we went to a carnival where we apparently took no pictures, although we had a great time. Saturday, it took us almost all day to pack, after which we drove from about 3:30 PM to roughly 3:30 AM and collapsed into bed. Final review: a great trip - no hustle and bustle of a cram-packed itinerary, just a good week with our extended family.
