We're Back....
As you can tell, we are back from our mini vacay! We made it up there in about 5/6 hours counting stopping for breakfast. But it took us 7 hours to get back! It was a long ride back home that's for sure! We left about 7:15 Friday morning & stopped in Southaven at IHOP. We made it to Conway, AR around 12:45. We went to visit with Uncle Richard & Aunt Barbara for a while then checked into our hotel. (FYI: If you ever have to stay in Conway, don't stay at the Howard Johnson! It's an okay hotel but not as nice as they make it out to be on the net!) We then went to eat & did a little bit of shopping. The stores were having a Moonlight Madness sale. The only thing I bought was a Christmas ornament for Natalee! Granny stayed at Uncle Richard's and the rest of us went to play Putt-Putt. We had a blast! Terry and Dustin rode the Go-Karts a couple of times & said they were pretty fun too! Saturday morning we went to the peach orchard. Believe it or not it was very chilly! I just about froze and I know Natalee was cold! Terry, Natalee & I left & went to Pickles Gap Village. We stopped by the Fudge Factory. We were planning on going in the other stores but it started raining, so we went back to Uncle Richard's. Later, we ended up splitting up. The men went & did their thing & the women (me, mom, Natalee & our cousin Sarah) went shopping. After meeting the men back at Uncle Richard's for supper, we went to the Pro Shop at the driving range. Dustin & Callaway go crazy over golf stuff! Mom & Natalee stayed at the hotel while the other 4 of us went to play Putt-Putt again! Again, we had a blast! I made 2 hole in ones!! Sunday, we went back to the orchard to get us some fresh peaches, tomatoes, watermelons, cantaloupe and some other veggies, while Callaway and Dustin went to play a couple of holes at the public golf course. We finally left around 3:15. We got stopped in traffic for nearly 30-45 minutes, if not a little longer, around Memphis. Then we had to take a detour cause they had a major wreck on the I55 exit! We almost had 2 wrecks getting out of Memphis! We were in our lane to get on the I55 exit off of 240 & this woman decides she wants in our lane! We had to honk the horn for her to notice us! Then when we get to the Southaven exit so we can stop for supper, this guy decides he wants to ride our tail! When we stop he comes within inches of hitting us! We finally made it home around 10:15 last night! I'm just glad we made it safely!
