Back in Colorado, Back to Reality

We made the 13 hour trek home yesterday after a great trip to Texas. The only reason why we were able to make it home without a hotel stay was because our bodies have adjusted to staying up late for the past 4 days. We had the best time with the Fish Fam and the Van Fam. It felt like Wegmans' night on speed, non stop fun for 3 days. We all stayed at the Fishers Taj Mahal outside of Dallas. The adults had their own rooms, the girls bunked in Lucy's room and the boys scattered out in the Media room, it was great. Driving back reminded us of why we miss Virginia so much, we miss our great friends. Steve was amazed at how fast us girls could gab about anything and everything while having parallel conversations and still able to keep up with each other! The best conversations were after the kids were in bed and it was just the adults! 2 included our 3 hour political discussion or better yet, if our leaders would take our advice, this war would be over by now discussion and the New Year's Eve dating and engagement memories, or lack of same memories as our spouses. The kids were great, loud but so happy to be together. The trip ended with Preston confessing his love to Hannah, Taylor wanting to come back for another visit and Mason missing his side kick and partner in food consumption.... aka Berkley the dog. So thank you to our amazing friends for an unforgettable, much needed great friend fix!
