Road Trip to KY and Father's Day

I recently took a quick trip to KY with my niece Sydney and my sister Erika. As these two ladies are very important in my life I took the opportunity to make the trip with them. We loaded up the car on Friday afternoon with activities to keep us busy along the way and of course snacks (nothing is better than road trip snacks). We made it to KY on Friday night and made ourselves at home at a Hilton with a pool. When we checked in Sydney asked the girl at the front desk if they had a pool, the girl said "we do and it is open until 11:00 pm". As I'm sure you can guess Sydney was very excited about this and I think it might have been the highlight of the trip for her. We were back in Michigan by Saturday night very late, as I said it was a quick trip.

Sunday was Father's Day. Kirby and I spent the morning with my father along with my mother, niece, nephew and sister. We had a lovely breakfast and I know my dad loved having us all there. One of the gifts from the gang was a sign that said "Wrinkles are a blessing, they mean you've lived a long time" which my niece resently said about my grandmother (my father's mother) when she passed. I know it will hold a special place in my dad's heart.

After spending the morning with my father we spent the afternoon with Kirby's father celebrating Father's Day. We had a lovely BBQ dinner and spent time talking outside by the lake front.

Even though it was a very busy weekend it was great to spend it with some very special people in my/our lives!!!
