I am exhausted, I honestly dont know why I have such a need to post tonight instead of getting in bed, but if I dont now, I may not get this done!
The trip down went great! It was cool to sing as loud as I wanted and take pictures driving at 85+ mph and stop when and where I wanted without anyone making a fuss. Brian ended up waking me up at 4am instead of 5am, so I said screw it and got up and took my shower and was out the door by 5am! I made so-so time getting to my grandparents door at 12:22...not my personal best, but I had to take into account slower driving in the dark, stoping for gas, and breakfast and being pulled over 3 times! Yup, well I was *actually* pulled over 2 times, the third time I thought it was me but ended up being some other poor shmoe getting it. But somehow I managed to get out of all the tickets!! WOOPIE! I stopped for breakfast and a much needed coffee and potty break around 6:30 and then was on my way! I got some cool pics and the trip was very relaxing!
I had a great time with my grandparents...for the first time in many years, I felt like a kid again, safe and sound with my grandma and grandpa. It was a whirl wind weekend filled with gambling...some gambling....oh and then we went gambling, and after that we decided to go to the flea market...and then gambled afterwards!! LOL I also had a good time seeing my aunt and uncle and cousins and really felt like I reconnected with Melissa for the first time in ages, she is getting so big and grown up it blows my mind! I missed seeing Lorie for the most part because things were hectic on her end and time got away...but she says she has claimed me for the 19th of July!
I went by the condo we were going to rent in July and what a rathole! UGH! So luckily I found out now and not later, changed my reservation, and got in at a great price at our usual hotel on the beach!
I feel so lucky to have spent the time I did with my grandparents. I had a great time and will miss them very much. But just 15 weeks and 4 days and I will be back and next time I am treating THEM to dinner out! :)
Grandma, Grandpa, thank you. Thank you for always being there for me and for being such a big part in my life in making me who I am today. I treasure the time I have with you, even if its only once or twice a year. I love you both very much and I am looking foward to seeing you both in July. I miss you already so so much. I love you!
So thats it, the drive home sucked of course because I just wanted to get home to my kids and brian as fast as I could, and I pulled in about 3pm. I am worn out and ready to relax and get a good nights sleep in my bed with my hubby and my cats I am sure.
Goodnight everyone! :)

3 TIMES!!! Girl, I knew you going out of town by yourself was going to get you into trouble. LOL
That is too funny...3 times?! Who has that kind of luck? And who has that kind of luck to get out of it all 3 times?! YOU GO GIRL! lol
That's nice that you were able to see the condo before your actual vacation.
I'm glad you had fun, and glad you got home safely.
