Road Trip

This past weekend Toby, Tinsley and I hit the road!  We had a great time.  First stop was in Abilene to see Toby's grandmother, Mama T.  Mama T is 93 years old and has been living in a nursing home in Abilene for the past few years.  We were so excited to get to introduce Tinsley to Mama T.  We had a great visit with Mama T and Toby's Aunt Susan and Uncle George.

The next morning, we got up and headed to Lubbock for Whitney's final home basketball game.  We can't believe that she is alreay a senior!  We are so proud of you Whitney!

On Sunday morning, we got up and left Lubbock.  We stopped often to let Tinsley get out of her car seat to eat and to stretch out.  One of the stops we made was by these wind turbines. Toby and I have always been curious how loud they are.  They are not super loud, kind of sound like a washing machine.  They are huge!

Our final stop of the trip was in Blanco to introduce Tinsley to Toby's great uncle Harold and great aunt Florine.  Harold is Mama T's brother.

We had a great weekend, but as always, it was great to get back home!  Tinsley could not have been a better traveler.  She slept pretty much any time the car was in motion.  We figure we will get her used to hitting the road early :-)
