The Trip

We had a great visit with our men in Camp Shelby and various other places. Linda, Alaina, Emily and I headed out on Saturday, March 11th at around 9am. It usually seems like eons to get to the bottom of Minnesota, this time it was a breeze. We talked, played 20 questions, and listened to my new XM Radio. Linda brought along a little hand held 20 questions game that asked the questions and tried to guess your word. As usual, our minds were very dirty. One of the questions was, "Does it come in a box?" There after it was the joke of the trip..."Does it cum in a box?"

We got to Jackson, MS around 7am on Sunday morning. Most of us were pretty worn out, besides little Emily who slept most of the trip. We stopped for breakfast at a Waffle House to figure out what we were going to do for showers and Linda's rental car that we needed to pick up in Jackson. (Camp Shelby is about 2 hours from Jackson.) We finally decided on getting a hotel room for a couple hours to wind down, shower and fix ourselves up.

After the showers and morning weather information on TV we were on our way. We picked up Linda's car and headed out on our last leg to Camp Shelby. Alaina rode with me on the last stretch and Emily rode with Linda. It was kind of fun to have some one-on-one time with Alaina to get to know eachother better. There's nothing like 2 hours in the car to learn more about a person. We shared our stories of how we met our husbands and what marriage has been like for us since. Alaina and I get along very well, I am glad to have gotten to know her better over the past 6 months.
