NO bloggin 'bout that.
I can't decide if my favorite pic is The Christa givin you your welcome home hug or you mom-movin towards you arms outstretched, reaching for her welcome home hug, with a "momma's look of pride" on her face.
I loved all the interesting info regarding the trip. What an adventure.
I was out of town for the WHOLE weekend and look what I missed.
Safe travels-wind at your back
