day trip

So....

We love to go to the Town Center in Jacksonville, Florida.

We like to all pile in the van early in the morning....

David, Erika, Grammy, Grand Daddy, Lucy, Harry Gus, Archie, and Walt!

We love to head south down I-95,

stop at the go-asis for a bathroom break,

go over the big bridge,

and land in shopping mecca for the day.

First stop is always

PF Changs for lunch to refuel 

and then off to buy school shoes,

a new shirt for David,

and get ideas for Harry's coming up birthday.

For Trader Joe's we head over to the beach before we head home.

The problem is....

We can't ALL fit in our van anymore.

Wednesday afternoon I suggested to Bubba that we rent a bigger van for the day.

Above is what he came home with...

A twelve passenger bus.

You can just imagine the excitement of the kids

when they saw our wheels for the day.

What fun!

Everybody had their own seat and a space in between.

Driving home yesterday afternoon,

we were all happy and content.

Our Day Trip was a huge success.

Oh...

Lucy made me this purse.

I love it so much...

will carry it to church in the morning.

Sewing lessons worth the money and time spent?

Yes, yes, yes!!!!
