Well leaving family and friends is always hard, but the longer you stay, just makes departing that much harder. I wont say sorrowful cause there was nothing sorrowful about this visit/vacation!!! This was a rare opportunity for our slightly un-full family, and the kids had so so so much fun with all of their family! As i suspected, Angelica is taking it the hardest, much like she is taking her Mommy being gone the hardest. Have to patiently wait though short bouts of tears, but the thought of seeing her Mom soon helps, but she is only 5 years old, so it isn’t fully comprehended, and she just wants to see her cousins!!!
Words in no way can say or convey the appreciation to my NM family for the warm and loving hospitality they gave me, and especially, my two young kids. I know that they will remember this for a very very longtime!
We left early Friday morning, heading East for OKC to see our OK family. As is always the case, travel was smooth and uneventful until freaking Texas and Oklahoma!! Those damn crosswinds just suck as they pound the side of our 35′ home on wheels!!! Makes an 7.5 hour trip seem like 15 hours!!!!
However we made it unscathed and none the worse for wear. checked in at park and quickly got in the car and headed north to Perry, OK (passing as quickly as possible through enemy territory, Stillwater, OK!! I did everything possible not to VOMIT!!), to see our dear Aunt Cecelia and Uncle Duane. Auntie made us a GREAT meal and we visited as the kids ran rabid all around the house and Uncle Duane’s garden, picking tomatoes and squash! Wish we could stay longer but we have a schedule and of course they have one as well. Next Stop…. who knows, after a trip Norman, then its Eastbound and down again on Sunday!!
