We have been lucky lately to visit our children who live in other states. I miss them so much! (I didn't foresee this when they were little that they would live so far away and I really, really dislike it....alot). At least we have one son and family who live here! The trips to see the other children are always a great blessing to us.
We had so much fun visiting with Eric, Joy and Olivia last week for Easter. It was a wonderful trip! Although Eric had to study some of the time, we still got in some really fun times and got to hang out with Joy while Eric studied. We were able to go to Olivia's storybook time at the library and Easter Egg Hunt, go to the Greenbriar, a Confederate cemetery, explore a cave, eat at the Lewisburg Inn, watch movies, have a fun Easter morning, and decorate rice krispie eggs (Yummmy), eat a delicious Easter dinner and get a new do (Joy colored, highlighted and cut my hair and I love it!). We loved spending time with them and thank them for such a great four days!

It wouldn't be a trip to Lewisburg without a visit to the Greenbriar. The tulips were beautiful!

Our trip home wasn't as fun as the road trip to Eric's. On the way there, Rick and I went cemetery hunting along the backwoods of northern West Virginia. There we found the grave site of Rick's 3rd Great Grandfather, Samuel, who had been one of the first to settle in the area in the late 1700's. We were able to see the beautiful land he owned and to walk there on. Rick's 2nd Great Grandfather also lived and was buried there. His great grandfather, William Augustus, was born there and as a seventeen year old joined the church and crossed the plains to Utah. It was an awesome trip for Rick to see and learn about his ancestors. We meet a man there whose mother-in-law was also a direct descendant of Samuel. We enjoyed his visit with us and the valuable information he gave us.

We then journeyed on to Eric's with Penelope (our nice little GPS lady). She took us on a wild GPS adventure on a historical turnpike (although I swear our GPS had it out for us and give us a wild goose chase). It was a one lane, mountainous road with many switchbacks and you couldn't see around the bends! There was actually a nice highway that would have taken 1/2 less the time if she had only suggested it! (I have trust issues with Penelope!) But we did make it safely to Eric's where we spent 3 1/2 days of fun and had a wonderful time with a safe trip home.
