Wow, we just took a really long trip! Mommy, Daddy, Grandmommy and I all went by car to a place called Arkansas to visit my Great-Great-Aunt Peggy in the town of Diamond City. It took us two days to drive out there and two days to drive back, and along the way we drove through West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. We saw the Gateway Arch in Saint Louis and drove through really wild thunderstorms in Indiana.

While we were there, we stayed in a place called the Big Cedar Lodge near a city in Missouri called Branson. Mommy says they have a lot of music shows in Branson, but they didn’t take me to see any. The hotel was really nice and we had a good time swimming in the pool and walking in the nature paths. They had a really neat kiddie pool that was just the right height for me to stand up and cruise in holding onto the wall.

Great-Great-Aunt Peggy was really nice to me. I wandered around her house and showed her how well I can walk. She’s 92 years old and is my mommy’s mommy’s mommy’s sister.

When we finally got back to Maryland, Mommy and Grandmommy went to the airport and picked up Uncle Boo.
