Travels.

Last weekend, we made another quick trip to Houston to visit with the George family.



Amy has been one of my dearest friends since we were juniors in high school. Ours is the kind of friendship that never seems to change, no matter how much time we spend apart. I love her so dearly. We graduated high school together, were in each other's weddings, and now have three kids between the two of us- crazy! Amy and her family lives overseas, and since they were in town visiting we just had to make the drive to meet her new little one, Selah. What a sweet baby.

As a bonus, we got to spend a few days with family while we were there.

Nana had some fizzy tub colors to turn Ben's bathwater bright colors. Nanas make everything special.



Ben and Papsy have a heart-to-heart about sleeping through the night. Papsy looks so serious, but then again, sleep is a serious matter!



Ben helped water Nana and Papsy's yard. He LOVES playing with a hose. This is one of my favorite pictures of all time. Please pause for a moment and take in that physique.



Playtime with cousin Lyla, who is getting SO big and has some really fun toys.



Lunch at Collin Street Bakery on the way home.



The time on the road is always the most challenging because Ben just doesn't sleep well in the car. Despite the fact that we swear every trip will be our last, we keep going back!

On the Way.

I came across a new site this morning and thought it was too cool not to share, especially with summertime road trips right around the corner.

Onthewayapp.com allows you to enter your starting point and your destination, and the site provides you with all kinds of points of interest along the way. It includes historical markers, restaurants, book stores, stadiums, etc. It even includes Starbucks, which I have to agree is most definitely a point of interest.



How cool is that? Now that we have a squirmy toddler who demands frequent pit stops, this site will really come in handy.

Did anyone else already know about this, or am I just late to the party?

Happy Saturday!
