North Carolina

The day after Christmas, at 5am we left for North Carolina to visit Jim's sister and her family. It was an early morning but Bella went back to sleep in the car and we made it to Ohio before she woke up. We planned to make the entire trip down in one day and despite some rain, fog and a traffic back up we did it. It only took us 14 hours total, including several stops along the way.

Fog in the mountains of West Virginia.

Once we were there it was nice to relax and not drive around too much. The Mast's took us to a great playground not to far from there house and as you can see it was nice enough for no coats!!
Bella had a great time and did not want to leave.
Here she is riding the giant fish.

The Cousins-Bella, Brayden and Jacob.
Aunt Dawn and Bella at the White Water Center that is across the river from their house.Isabella is a natural at the rock climbing. She loved it!!! Here we are by a Palm tree in South Carolina. It was a beautiful day with temps in the 60's and plenty of warm sun.

Bella and Uncle Brent being silly.

This is what we came back too. A snow covered car. After making back to Ohio the first day. We came back to cold weather and more snow once we made it into Michigan, but it was a great trip and I am glad we got to go visit Jim's sister and her family.
