Vacation Time

Catherine had her last day of school on the 8th. Now it’s time for Summer Vacation! We have a big one planned right away too!

Bobby’s sister Angie is retiring from over 26 years in the Navy. We’re driving down to Mississippi for her retirement party. It’s a long drive, we’ll stop half way in Knoxville, TN and stay at the Marriot to relax and unwind in the pool, and then we’ll go out to eat at Cracker Barrel for dinner.

The next day we’ll get up, eat a nice breakfast then get back in the van and drive the rest of the way to the Navy Base. We’ll be there for a few days for all the festivities and a good visit with all of his family then we’ll drive up and stay with Angie and her family for a couple days in TN.

Next, we’ll drive a little further to my sister Tammy’s house and stay with her and her family for the night and a short visit. Roy, her husband, is really sick with cancer right now (please keep him in your prayers) so we won’t stay long.

Then we’ll drive up to Kentucky and stay at a hotel for a few days. We’ll visit with my Mom & Dad, and other sisters that are coming in for a large McClure family reunion that all of us cousins planned after the death of our grandmother a year and a half ago.

Then we’ll head back home, stopping again, half-way for the night at another Marriot to relax and give the girls a rest from having to sit for so long. Yes, we have a DVD player which we’ll be using, and the game cube that we can hook up for their entertainment, and we’ll bring along toys for them to play with, but it’s still a long ride for them.
