So we did the unthinkable and drove the 30+ hours out and back from Utah. I cannot say enough about how good the kids were on the drive. We made the drive part of the fun and stopped a lot along the way. Here are some of the events of our drive out.
Our first stop was to visit grandma and grandpa in TN. Then we head to our old stompin' grounds. We visited the Vanderbilt campus in Nashville, where we lived for a couple years while Dudi got his Master's degree. We absolutely love Nashville!

We only had Micah at the time we lived in Nashville, but this was one of our FAVORITE places. It is a replica of the parthenon and has beautiful grounds with ponds and ducks and playgrounds. We had to stop by here... and we still love it.
The grounds of Vanderbilt are gorgeous. I had to snap some shots of the HUGE magnolias.
We thought this was funny. We met the guy who lives here. As you can imagine, that was about all there was to do in Buford.
This is the most random thing. We were stopped at a gas station in the middle of Wyoming when I hear someone call my name. Who in Wyoming knows me?
It just so happens that the car that pulled in behind us at the gas station was our really good friends from when we lived in Maryland!
What are the chances?!
They were vacationing also, and just driving through.
It was so great to see them, I just felt bad we didn't really have time to visit!
Nebraska. What more can I say?
Flaming Gorge.
Olivia was asleep in the car while we were here. It really was beautiful view. We live in an awesome country with such diverse landscapes.
Next up...our time in Utah.

Great pictures!! That photo of the flower looks really great especially - you are workin' that camera, Mary!
Love that you had a good time driving out there and that you were able to make it fun for the kids. And so fun that you saw friends in such a random place! Life is so funny like that sometimes.
Miss you guys!
That is wild that you saw those friends.
I agree with Hannah...that flower picture looks like it belongs in a magazine!!
You'll have to let me know what David and I should do in Nashville - we're heading there this summer for a few days, just the two of us. Neither of us has been there before. And I can't believe you ran into Jenn and Flay!!! What are the chances?
