CA or Bust - Day 3...Monday

Another wonderful travel day with Madelyn, she is really handling 10 hours travel time better than I ever would have imagined! We finished up Arkansas with me making fun of the state our entire trip. Actually, I still am making fun of them. It's a whole post all its own.

We passed through Oklahoma where we saw windmills and stopped at Braums for lunch and a frozen yogurt that was so rich and creamy you wouldn't have known it was yogurt.

For the night we stopped in Amarillo. Our hotel was OK. We've been spoiled by our Holiday Inn Express experiences and we decided to go a little cheaper. The room was clean, just not as nice as we were used to. But the people in Amarillo were so nice! Unfortunately we didn't get a steak...our hotel people referred us to Outback or Logan's Roadhouse and we wanted something a little more Texas. We ate at Rosa's tortilla factory...yummy!

I also like to visit Four Ribbons   and get my craft on. This is my Marine, he fights for freedom. That is HOT.   This is Madelyn.  She is three and keeps me on my toes and sometimes renders me speechless.  So now that you know a little more about me, please link up so we all can get to know you!

Can't wait

On holidays I think forward to how they will be when we have our own child. I think of what my parents did with and for us and imagine doing those same things for my own child. It's the small day to day things that shape us into what we are. In our house, Valentines Day was never about romantic love, even though Mom and Dad obviously loved each other and did things for one another. It was always about love, family love, friendly love, the love that encompasses us daily. It was a day where we got a red heart filled with chocolate, a box of conversation hearts, those heart jawbreakers, and cute card. Nanna always sent us a Valentines Day card - ALWAYS arriving on Valentines Day. Nanna had great timing with her cards - perfect timing. Mom always got the larger Whitmans Sampler Box and all of the kids would take turns picking what we wanted from what mom didn't care for (and sometimes what she was really saving for later because it was her favorite). Daddy got red hots. Tho
