But yes, it was a lot of driving, but the US is made for road trips :) My boys returned to the US and had been on long trips without me since the passing of their father to visit and stayed with their grandma. I traveled to the US with the boys to be with my mother-in-law and I never went back. Did not know how I made through that trip but could not do it again. But my children were good, they were close to their grandma and made trips and stayed with her on month long period after that on their own, she died last year.oceangirlhttp://livehighlivemightyliverighteously.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-84451340224941217432012-03-07T19:33:58.109-06:002012-03-07T19:33:58.109-06:00 That's a good amount of time.

There were 7 of us, 5 adults and 2 children. My parents and my mother-in-law were with us. There were many other trips but we moved. The US is a continent to explore. I have the most beautiful of memories and I am grateful. I want to make new ones now.oceangirlhttp://livehighlivemightyliverighteously.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-13610968867669747992012-03-07T18:31:09.504-06:002012-03-07T18:31:09.504-06:00 I'm biased on that one.

Well you could probably teach Francis some Irish sayings anyway. thankslislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-84708823761927045812012-03-07T18:04:19.975-06:002012-03-07T18:04:19.975-06:00 It was a great experience.

I've vacationed in Texas.

Who's Welsh, I think. The parents searched for a nickname and I innocently suggested slicing off the first few letters and calling him Liam. "How nice. Irish," said my daughter. They call him Francis, his middle name.
