We finally had a weekend where we could head south to TN. We haven't been to Grammie and Grandpa's since June of 2012. (Josh...since Feb 2012...)
Friday morning in Indiana found us hit with ice and cold wind. Friday night found us (around 11 pm) in 50 degree weather and no wind. WOW! I couldn't remember how to pack for that type of warmth with the week of cold weather we had. (so the hats, gloves, layers...weren't really necessary...needless to say)
It was a whirlwind trip. Two days is just not long enough to do much. But it was a good trip.
I found it interesting leading up to the trip that Jake asked..."Can we go to G and G's in the summer instead of now so we can swim in their pool?" I had to explain that this trip wasn't a one time shot...we could go now AND then! I guess they had forgotten that last year between Dec and June we went about 4-5 times! :)
Joe seemed surprisingly shy in the new surroundings...! Things weren't unfamiliar, but he definitely seemed to be pulling details back into his mind instead of comfortably remembering all that he saw...even in G and G's house! I guess I thought he would easily recall more. But that wasn't the case necessarily. And it didn't keep him from having full-fledged Joe fun!
So...we came back yesterday to 45 degree weather in Indiana. But the wind chill had to have been 10 degrees less (I didn't dare look...I just bundled up in my thickest hoodie and went out to play golf and basketball in the sunshine with the boys! )
Next day (today)...even worse...35 degree rain/ice mix...with incredible wind from the east. (again...didn't check the wind chill--for mental sanity...but did watch the rain travel parallel to the ground as it came down for an hour this morning...amazing!)
Spring is on it's way...to Indiana...just around the corner...right?!?!
