The reason I was up so early was, the boys left for their adventure to Missouri. I guess since this is the 2nd year of going back, it is the start of a tradition?! They left PDX at 6:10 A.M. and then went to Denver. There they had a connecting flight to Kansas City. It was a little hard to leave them at PDX knowing that I was not going to be there in Denver to help them.
But ya know, somewhere, somehow, we have raised pretty responsible young men and there were no hiccups. There was a little turbulence, but other than that, my little travelers had no problems. (Of course they called or texted me every step of the way!!). They arrived in Kansas City about 2:30 P.M. local time, Aunt Joann was there to meet them and they were pretty darn happy. It was kinda funny though, were in Portland at the gate waiting for them to board, the boys went up, gave their boarding passes and then headed for the plane. No hugs, no kisses, no goodbyes....there was a guy standing in line that saw and looks at me, waved "Bye Mom, we'll have a good trip" and was laughing. It was kinda funny, but I guess you had to be there (Yes, ok, a Donna story, sorry, tired!!) It is about a 4 hour drive from Kansas City to Branson area, so it was evidently preplanned to stop at Gates for BBQ ribs.
Now I am gonna need to try them because I think that excited them almost more than anything about the trip. Not sure what all they have planned. I do know that either tomorrow or Friday, they are going to Bass Pro Shop. I am just waiting for the text "Send more money to Bass Pro" and then the text that 2 1/2 weeks just is not long enough!!!!
As for Mark and I, I am sure it is wrong to celebrate, but ya know, we are going to enjoy it as well.
If anyone needs us or wants to try to find us in the next 2 plus weeks, don't bother, we are relaxin, chillin and free as the wind!!!!
Enjoy!
