This past couple of weeks, we took our first big road trip as a family. First up was a family reunion (Melina's mother's family) in Joplin, Missouri. We drove up there a couple days early and spent time in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The family reunion was great. We had two big meals with all sorrts of good food. There were games for the kids, and an "auction" to help out on the costs of hosting the party. Then it was a two-day drive across MO, IL, IN and OH to get to my folks house in Bluffton. We spend a week there before making the (excruciating) trip back to Texas.
