Back In The Saddle Again

Back in Atlanta and the trip went well.

Long Island was fun, but cold. Shannon got to spend a lot of time with her cousin Caitlin. Every day we took them somewhere different. One day was to a park that just recently opened down by Lake Ronkonkoma. It used to be a trailer park and the town bought over the land and kicked out all the trailers. Now there is a really nice big play ground right on the water.

Another day we took them to Wood Kingdom where they got to play on indoor swing sets and inside big moon jumps.

Most of the week was filled with family visits. Got to see my mother, grandparents, as well as Erin's family and some of her AOB sisters.

Tried to do the 18 hour drive in one day but didn't even come close to it. We ended up stopping in Salem Virginia for the night after driving for 10 hours. Then getting back on the road the next morning.

Shannon did really good in the car. She didn't have too much to complain about and would tell us when she had to go to the bathroom. Each leg of the drive we would stop at a McDonalds and let her run around on the play ground.

Tallied up all of our gas receipts and the whole trip came out to $312.55. Still cheaper than buying 3 plane tickets.
