Road trip...

Our little Fender is an excellent traveler! I hesitate to say that out loud prior to any trip because I tend to think that this one is the one where he finally becomes that kid in the back seat driving the parents crazy the entire length of a 16 hour vacation drive. But while it lasts I would do him an injustice not to say how much we appreciate his self-reliance and composure this past journey and all prior (plane trips included) since birth.

The day after Christmas Daddy loaded up the car after Momma did all the packing...(what's gonna work? teamwork!)and we drove to our first destination to visit Fen's Great Grandmother Boswell and other members of the Boswell clan. This leg of the drive is 5 1/2 hours. When we arrived, Drew's brother and his family were there, having driven all the way from Tampa, Florida. Now THAT's A ROAD TRIP!!! And major kudos to them for making that journey every year with two kids in tow.

We had dinner with Great Grandmother and visited a bit then drove over to Aunt Barbara and Fred's for the night.

Clearly this is Fen and Great Grandmother. She's so much fun. Always a hoot. Doesn't she look just like Maxine from those greeting cards?
