Moving to Virginia...

We had such a fun time driving across the country. However, we were glad to arrive. We took a week to drive, making several stops in Montana to see friends and family, and stopping in beautiful places like Rapid City, SD (Mt. Rushmore- which Brady lovingly calls: Mountain Dudes), Sioux Falls, SD (beautiful waterfall), Chicago, IL (who wouldn't stop there?), and Lexington, KY (Hello good friends). Here are some pictures from our mini vacation. The first picture is of several 2nd cousins on Crit's side: Brady, Josie, Ada, Will, Dylan, Clark & Austin. The 2nd picture is in Sioux Falls, at Falls Park. I told the boys to pretend they were falling in- Austin is quite the actor- eh? Then the last picture is of the bigger boys enjoying the magnificence of the tallest building in North America- the Sears Tower in Chicago, IL. That was a highlight (of course we stopped at Stbx and got a mug of Chicago). I wish we could've stayed longer...it was a neat city- well, with the exception of all the tolls! We lost count. We got off one exit and you needed to pay .30 to get out! And you could only use change- which we didn't have. So we had 7 days to go online to pay .30 on our debit card or else you'd get a big ticket! Weird! Needless to say, we arrived safely in Virginia Beach on Saturday, June 28th.
