Road Trippin'

Friday we all piled into a rented mini van (Deans idea to convince me they are fabulous, BTW it worked I can't wait to get one) and drove to Richfield to see my dad's headstone. The van was great the kids watched DVD's and had plenty of room to enjoy it. Our family, my sisters and mom all went down for the 1 year anniversary of my dad's passing, and to visit my mom's parents. It was nice to be there as a family, sans Timmy he had other commitments. My dad's headstone is really nice. I hate that he is buried so far away, but that's always been the plan. My mom did a great job picking out the headstone. It has a swimmer on my dad's side and a rose on her side which is perfect. And I love that she picked pink. As she says he went first so she got pink....not my dad's first choice to say the least. All of the kids names are on the back and I have to say it is a little weird seeing your name anywhere on a headstone. We all went to Steve's steakhouse for dinner, which is amazing and then back to the hotel for some swimming. It was the first time Avery got in a pool and she loved it. Boston was a wreck from not napping and all of the fun, on the way home he crashed hard. Till next time.
