The day before we flew out, I was tending little Janie. She wanted to get right into the middle of my packing and had a great time in the suitcase.
This was the car we rented...a Dodge Nitro-SUV. Here are a few photos of our road trip. Ella was a good little traveler with her books, movies and snacks her mother had prepared.
Ella was so happy to get to her home in Indiana! She had fun exploring outside after we arrived, touching base with all back home... even the neighbor's cat.
After our quick trip to Indiana, and finding #2 baby coming along great, we headed back to MN. We had a great time visiting the falls, the Mississippi River, the water park inside our Radisson Hotel, and a drive across town to visit the Minneapolis/St.Paul Temple.
While Laura & Mike visited the temple, Ella, Jon and I enjoyed an evening at the Mall of America enjoying dinner there and walking around. Legoland was a hit.
It was a special cherished time with our daughter and granddaughter. We developed a bond again with this sweet family and enjoyed each and every moment!
