Road Trip

We had a great Thanksgiving. We went on a trip to visit Derek’s Sister the Buhler family in Columbus Ohio. We left last Monday morning for the almost 600 mile drive (each way). The kids are great little travelers and we had a great time.


This is a replica of the Santa Maria (it was a lot smaller than I would have thought) there was also a statue of Christopher Columbus very fitting since we were in Columbus Ohio also a little odd since he never visited there oh well.


On Thursday we did the usual. We cooked a lot of yummy food and stuffed ourselves silly.


Don’t those pies look yummy! We made pumpkin, apple and chocolate
At the topiary garden




Walking around Ohio State to see where Clint goes to school. We stopped to feed the ducks.

It was a little cold. Bur!



Bath Time! What cute kids!


We drove home all day Saturday. We did spend a few hours in Lexington visiting a horse park and museum. Jensen and Siesa enjoyed seeing all the horses. There were all different types of horses. It was interesting to see and be able to compare them. Now I understand the difference between a race horse, work horse, etc. The museum had some interesting exhibits about the history of horses. It is amazing how long horses were used in society for so many different things and in just a relatively short time most people don’t even know how to ride a horse.
