I went on a trip...all by myself

My mom and I went out to Ohio to visit Becky.  I haven't been on a trip like this years.  I haven't been on a plane in years.  I was hoping to feel well enough to go, and I was so grateful that I was able to.  We had so much fun being together and doing girl stuff:  sight-seeing, shopping, cooking together, and just talking.  My mom, my sister and I are perfect travel companions.  We visited Kirtland and saw the beautiful green everywhere.  So different from where I live.  It was cool and rainy that day.








We drove over to a ferry and took it out on Lake Erie to Put-in Bay.  We drove a golf cart around the island, had lunch, and enjoyed the sunshine.


I think we went out to ice cream 3 times.  Ohio is known for it's yummy ice cream.
 Visiting Chagrin Falls.  Such a beautiful little town.  It looked like one of those places that I always have dreamed about living.  Beautiful old homes, nice small town shopping area, and not too far from a big city.

 
We also just hung out and slept way in.  I don't think I ever adjusted to East Coast time.  I just stayed up late and woke up late as though I was still in California.  Joey had a good time with the girls while I was gone.  They played with friends, went swimming, roller skating, and to the movies.  I missed them a lot, but I felt so refreshed and, thankfully, not too worn out :)

What a fun trip! I am glad you were able to go. I'm sorry for your last two losses with your grandparents. My kids have yet to experience that and I know it is around the corner.
