The Morgan Family Road Trip: Day 2

On Day 2, the boys were up at the CRACK of dawn. Like 5:45...Yeah, my thoughts exactly! 

Our boys had breakfast and Matt and I had the leftover sub sandwiches...again, we wished later on that we hadn't. Don't worry, I'll update more on that later...

The kiddos played a bit and watched a few videos before we got onto the road again. 

  

We were only about 2.5 hours from our second stop so it was a quick and fun drive. 

Hi, Kentucky!! 

We got into Paducah right before lunch. Our AirBNB host had said we could check in around noon so we headed to eat and then meet him. But first, a little train tour. ;) 

  

PIZZA is coming our way!! 

Italian Village Pizza...YUM! 

  

Mason even got to see the workers tossing the pizza dough. I missed the picture but wanted to remember the memory. :) 

Silly goose tried every seat he passed. :) 

Matt got us all checked in and then. we headed right up to this balcony. The best view of the whole trip! 

But we were tired so we looked and then slept. :) 

After naps, we were all refreshed so we headed out for some exploring. Mason had our "map". 

  

First stop: ICE CREAM! 

  

  

A little more train looking...

A few views around town...

  

We went to a park to let the boys play for a bit. It was pretty warm so we didn't last long. 

  

  

  

Phew! WORN OUT! 

Dinner choice! 

This little squirrel was a little too close for my comfort as he begged for food! 

  

Love my people! 

soooooo good! 

A little naked jay action after bath time. 😂

  

Sweet boys before bed. 

Mason stayed up a little while and played some games with Matt on the balcony. I had started to feel a bit crummy at this point so I was resting...

This was my view....so bright and beautiful! 

It got pretty noisy right at the end of the night as a prom was being held across the street. Mason got to see some skateboarders and just all kinds of excitement. We were all in bed pretty early after such a fun day! 

Mason fell out of his bed that night so he ended up in bed with us....adventures abound! 

The Morgan Family Road Trip: Day 1

Oh man, we left for our trip 18 days ago and returned over a week ago and here I am just starting to recap it. It was SUCH a fun time and it took me almost a week to recover and actually feel like blogging about it. :) 

We headed out the afternoon of the 12th and headed to Nashville for the night. 

Our original plan was to stay with Matt's brother and his wife but due to sickness for them, plans changed. We ended up staying with Matt's sister and her family! 

We passed through North Carolina on our way. 

And then on into Tennessee. :) 

Naps for both boys. Praise The Lord! 

We stopped for snacks and Mason got powdered sugar donuts. :) 

When we were about an hour from Nashville, it started to pour down rain and the boys were cranky so I rigged up a Netflix plan for Mason. :) 

Shenanigans! He was upset about something so he made himself laugh. Love that kid! 

When we got into town, we stopped at Kroger for some sub sandwiches. We didn't expect to get there as early as we did so we didn't want to spring us needing dinner on Holly last minute. Later on in the trip, we wished we had skipped Kroger....

We all ate and then the kids all played for a while before pjs, books and bed. Such a fun quick visit. We hope to go back in the fall for a longer visit with everyone! 

We attempted a selfie before bed....oh boy...

Love this so much. 

  

Thanks, Holly and fam, for hosting us! :)
