vacation : part 1

we are home! after almost 2 weeks gone & almost 3,000 miles traveled. we are home. so I will start off with a recap of the first half of our vacation; an overnight drive to South Carolina to visit Darrin, Mary, & Addy! we left at 1:30 pm on Thursday & arrived Friday morning about 7:15 am.  the drive went surprisingly well. Bentley was a great traveler! we were greeted by Mary & Addy at the end of their driveway. Bentley was so excited to see them! it all kind of seems like a dream once you finally reach your destination.  Shawn & I both went in to sleep for a while, I woke up after a couple hours & was so excited just to be there, that I got up. after a little coffee, we were ready to start our vacation!
