Been a little while since the last update, mostly because I've been on vacation or lazy. July 1st Beth, her mom and I drove up to Michigan to spend a week visiting her family. The trip was 14 1/2 hours, punctuated by a lot of potty breaks and one flat tire (It was so worn, I cut my hands on the steel belts protruding through the rubber. It was so worn, that if I'd noticed it before we left, I never would have driven on it) but overall not bad. We had some good visits with family and bought a stroller on sale at Tot to Teen. Stayed in St. Louis for the weekend on the way back (got a room at the airport Mariott for $35 a night through priceline.com) to visit friends (I most highly recommend Riddle's Penultimate for dinner if you're ever in St. Louie) and visited Meramec Caverns as well. Been home a couple days now...back to work...
