The trip had finally come to an end. It was quite the game of Tetris to pack everything back into my car but after about 20 min and lots of comments from people leaving the hotel I did it!!!
We made one last stop before we left to visit my Grandma Mary. Oh how I miss her sweet voice always calling me "sweet April" I miss her the most on my birthday when I don't see her beautiful handwriting on a birthday card in the mail or hear her wish me a happy birthday over the phone. I am so grateful for the love that my older girls have for her even though their memories of her are few. She was a beautiful woman and I am grateful for the knowledge that I will be with her again one day.
We took a small detour and took the girls to Precious Moments and visited the beautiful chapel that he built and it was...well...precious and beautiful. It was a wonderful way to end our trip together
We spent the night in Amarillo TX. That morning as I was using the bathroom I didn't have any toilet paper and so as I got up I laid my phone on the tub next to me.....and in just a few seconds Charlotte grabbed my phone and promptly dropped it in the toilet. Needless to say it didn't work for very long. As we left for our last 10 hours we made our last tourist stop at Cadillac Ranch. A random plot of land with Cadillac's buried in the ground.
The girls and I enjoyed adding our spray paint to all the rest
2800 miles, 4 states in 6 days.....I can honestly say my girls have never been better in the car and it was a trip that I will cherish forever. Wonderful memories and time with my mom that will always bring a smile when I think about it.
