Our TRIP!!

So our trip, to Milwaukee, started July 7 with dropping the dogs off at around 7am. We drove (well mostly Mike) all the way to St. Louis, which is where Mike's sister, Kristin and her hubby live. We got there around almost 9pm (14 hours.) It was a long day in the car, but actually not as bad as Mike and I thought it would be. Kate did a great job all day in the car! The next day we hit up the Arch and Budweiser.

Next we headed to Milwaukee for Mike's cousin, Shelby's wedding. We had a great time in Milwaukee. The weather was so nice!! It was mid 80's--such a relief from the over 100 degree days we have been having in Texas!! We enjoyed spending time with the Sines family, from a baseball game, to golf, to just letting our kids play together. The rehearsal dinner was nice, I loved the Texas cake, Shelby's groom, Sam is from Texas! The wedding was just beautiful!! It was at the Milwaukee Art Museum and well it was just beautiful!! Congratulations to Shelby and Sam!

We headed back to St Louis and went to Grant's Farm with Kristin. We really loved Kristin and Blake's house and felt very welcomed in their home. They were great hosts! Since the trip wasn't too bad, I know we will be making that drive again in the future! Thanks again, Kristin and Blake, for having us!!

We took two days to drive home so Mike could see more Presidential graves. We saw three on this trip: Eisenhower, Lincoln, and Truman.

All in All it was a great trip! And a big plus--Kristin found Mike's favorite soda, Diet Mountain Dew Code Red in St. Louis, so we came home with 12 12 packs!!!

PS. I can't seem to figure out how to get pictures where I want them in my blog so I will just post them in different posts! Does anyone know how to do this? Help!!
