On June 29, Jonathan, myself, and the kids headed to Salisbury NC for a Taiwan get together. We stayed the night in a hotel on Friday and the boys loved that. We learned Chloe is a great car rider and that is a good thing since our 4 hour trip to NC turned into about 12 hours on the way home (more later on this one).
On Saturday, we headed over to Dan Nicholas Park in Salisbury. It is a great park with lots to do. Amanda and Scott had planned this wonderful day. Many thanks to them for all their hard work!! There were many families there some with their children already home and several who are in other stages of waiting. Amanda's little girl, another little one, and Chloe were all little girls from SLC so that was really neat. We took a cute picture of the 3 of them together. Chloe loved on everyone and enjoyed all the events. The boys had fun as well at the water section, playground, putt-putt, and paddle boats. All in all it was a grand time and we plan on joining in again next year.
Saturday afternoon, we headed to Hickory NC to visit some old neighborhood friends, Kim and Keith. Keith was acutally camping with Boyd so we didn't get to see him. However, we had lots of fun thinking of the old days with Kim and meeting her little girl. It was nice to see her again. We spent Saturday night in another hotel where everyone went swimming before bedtime.
On Sunday, we began our journey back to VA where we decided to take a different route. It was a different interstate through the mountains. I really wanted to ride on a more scenic route so therefore we ended up on a different route that was fun, but LONG!! The kids did enjoy the stop at the Dollar Tree and Sonic. Near Richmond, we stopped and ate supper at a state park. The boys also enjoyed skipping stones and playing. It was a cool park!
Even with the long trip home, we had lots of fun family time together. We did lots of singing and talking since ridingin a car for that long there isn't much else to do. Enjoy the pictures!
