Last weekend for Labor Day some of my family (Dad,Rachel and her 3 kids) and I went to the St. Louis area to visit my mom's parents. It was overall a good trip. I got to eat at the Cracker Barrel twice. I got to go to the St. Louis zoo with the rest of the town... and I got to see my grandparents! I did learn several things about myself. 1. I really hate long car trips. 12 hours in a car from 1 PM to 1 AM is NOT fun. I drove the last hour and was so tired!!! Dad told me I was swerving and my response was-- Yeah, I am TIRED! We did make it safe and sound (?). 2. I am not nice if I have not had enough sleep. The kids got to sleep and woke up at their normal time. Don't know how my sister does it!!! I had to go and sleep some more. 3. I really do not love zoos. Now the St. Louis Zoo is "world famous"-- I think it is because they had the World's Fair there in the early 1900's and so the buildings and bird house are really cool looking. I did enjoy the Sea Lion show...but the rest of it-- I could do without. I think I should just go to a zoo in the morning or whenever the animals are active. When it is hot out we are all hot and tired--animals and people!
My grandma is looking so good! It was nice to see her. Grandpa is getting older and not as active as he once was. In someways it is hard to see them like that, but I know they like to see us.
I was a good trip.

The trip was fun. I don't know how I do it either. I'm glad we got to see the family too. Memories we made that will last forever. I need those pics sent to me! Happy B-day!
