How's That?!?!?

It's been a little under an hour since I posted my first blog this morning and now, counting this one, I'm up to 5 blogs in that hour!!  Not too shabby!  Now, given, a few of them are just little ones like this of me saying, look what I did!  But still!  Not bad!  Of those 5 blogs I finished posting about one day on vacation and completed two other days, so that's good.  I was just too pooped and too behind to get all of this done while we were on vacation.  Plus, a couple of times I tried to blog while we drove, and kept losing everything.  It wasn't worth the frustration!  Coming up are the last two days of our vacation where we experienced Illinois the first time in Shawnee National Forest.  We didn't plan on adding Illinois to the map on this trip, but decided if we have a picture we like better when we go to Chicago for our Great Lakes trip, we can always change it.  And our last day, we hit another Missouri destination and saw the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.  I considered changing out our Missouri photo on our map, but then thought, well I can't take down our Royals picture!!  But it's nice that even if we have visited a state and checked it off the list, does not preclude us from going back to that state if there's something more we want to see.  For instance, we have every intention of hitting Arches National Park, among other scenic spots in southern Utah on our way home from Vegas, during our southwest trip.  We've already got Utah checked off our list and the picture is on the map, but there is more to see, and if it works into our trips, we aren't going to skip it because we already have the state checked off.  Especially when it comes to National Parks!  (Speaking of which, I still need to mail back the kids' Stones River booklets...  Probably ought to get that done soon)  Anyways, this makes blog #5 in an hour, so I'm going to take a short break (she said, knowing she may not get back to the blog until this evening or even tomorrow) and be back after a brief word from our sponsors!  😉  Have a good one!  Love you!
