Love the visit - not fond of the drive

Up front I'll tell you that the 7+ hour drive to Lubbock and the 7+ hour drive home is not my favorite thing to do, even if we do get to try to count the hundreds & hundreds of new wind turbines. But it sure is sweet to visit there!

Could not have asked for a better week-end, weather-wise. Showers in the area kept the temperatures pleasantly cool, but it never rained on us once we got there.

Could not have asked for a better week-end eating wise. Rob's mastery of the grill, Jana's peach cobbler and some favorite eating places made it delightful. Rob has inspired me to consider getting a grill myself.

Could not have had more fun playing with the kids. Sharing Luke's excitement about surpassing 500 AR points and watching Grace as a make-believe princess was precious. Spending time with Rob, Jana and the kids even more so.

And Lubbock even provided a convenient all-night pharmacy when we needed one at 4am!
