A Surprising and fast trip to Amarillo

We left our home just planning on taking a short drive...maybe a couple hours...and coming home, but instead ended up 8 hours away in a hotel! We decided to go and stop in on Rick and Jacinda. An hour short of reaching their home, and about 3:30 in the morning...we decided to take a rest. We didn't leave prepared for an over-nighter! We ran to Walmart, which was right next to a hotel, and picked up some over-night items...and then rested our heads at the hotel for the night. The next morning, we set out again...on our way to surprise Rick and Jacinda. We had only been to their home once before...so it was a bit of a memory game of how to get back there again! We did a pretty good job finding it! We could see Rick and Kiahna right inside the door when we drove up...a look of shock crossed over Rick's face! Of course being the day before Easter...we planned on just saying 'hi' for a moment and heading back home! So, we enjoyed a couple hours at their home...and turned around to come home again. It was approximately a 20 hour drive for a two hour visit! Oh well...it was a fun memory to make!
On the road again in the morning!

Kaela, Kiahna, and Sadie
It was so much fun to see our cousins...even if it was only for a moment!
