Two 3 month olds + 1,500 miles = 1 Baskin Adventure!

Well it's about time I posted about this adventure and our two wonderful travelers!


Our adventure started when we got our orders to be stationed at SAN ANTONIO (there is a small detachment of Marines on Lackland AFB.) It was a very happy surprise that we got stationed in San Antonio, we honestly weren't even expecting to be stationed in Texas. It just goes to show that God works in his own way! :)

Well it took us a total of 28 total driving hours over the course of 2.5 days. We stopped at every state line to get the girls out and let them stretch and to take a picture! Rush and I took turns being the one holding them and being the one taking the picture. The first night we spent in Newnan, GA with Rush's cousin Christy (THANK YOU for housing us Christy! We always enjoy getting to see and visit with y'all!) After GA we pushed on for the longest drive and made it to Waxahachie (after stopping at Whataburger (big surprise) in Marshall to eat with Mattie J!) We enjoyed Waco and Waxahachie Friday and seeing family, the girls especially loved getting to meet their cousins! Saturday I braved the open road by myself with the two girls and drove down to College Station (I was meeting my parents and going to a wedding) while Rush and a group of his buddies went to Lake Whitney for Matt's batchelor party. Sunday we made it to San Antonio/Somerset! The girls met most of their other cousins Sunday afternoon.

Well enough talk, here are the pictures! :)

On the road again...
 First stop: South Carolina! (We didn't think to try and get a picture with North Carolina.)
 We were greatly disappointed by Georgia's lack of welcome sign...so this is what we had to make do with.
 Cousin Christy enjoying the girls! :)
 Now Alabama knows how to welcome you!
 Rush couldn't pass up this sign! We should all dare to defend our rights!

 Mississippi brings us that much closer to Texas!
 This reststop was, surprisingly, very nice! Would've been great if their ginormous bugs would've left us alone.
 TEXAS!!!!
 Dinner with Mattie J, he's holding Addie J!
 Any one wanna take a guess on who picked where we were eating??? ;)
 Now holding Reagan. Sure looks like he wants one of his own...
Great Grandmom meets her number 4 & 5 granddaughters! :)

Hope you enjoyed! More Baskin adventure updates to come (hopefully soon!)
