Back with a Bang!

So Hank and I went to Delaware last week for his Grandmother's funeral. It's funny how you can never meet someone but be effected just the same because of the impact it has on the people you love the most. The trip was good, for what it was. My kids stayed with my Mom & Dad, so Hank and I got to go alone. That was fun! We drove to Nashville, and got clothes for his parent's who weren't prepared for a long stay or a funeral. We stayed with Danny and Jackie Butler and then flew out of Nashville early Wednesday morning (6:15 am). Thank you Danny and Jackie for letting us crash at your house and taking us to the airport! Delaware is so different than Alabama. We were in Lewes, which was the first city in the first state of America (see Hank, I was paying attention!). We spent time with Hank's parents and his uncle. The service was on Thursday... it was soooo cold! Everyone was chilled to the bone after the graveside service. What was really nice... the family asked everyone to take a rose from the floral arrangement on top of the casket. We are drying ours out. We spent the rest of that day with family. We went to the boardwalk... got some authentic boardwalk fries... Hank got some Grotto pizza, which is his absolute favorite pizza... then we hit some outlet stores and did some Christmas shopping (since Delaware has no sales tax!) That evening, Hank and I went and caught "Hitch" at a local theatre. Then we headed out bright and early for our ride back to Nashville with Hank's parents. It was a long day! But by 11:30pm we were back safe and sound at home in our bed! Yeah! We got up at 7 (because we couldn't let ourselves sleep late!) and went and picked up our boys! We spent the day going to a birthday party and then back at home to relax and prepare for the Easter bunny!
