A bummer

Yesterday I was leaving the post office and heading to Walmart and this occurred...





Awesome huh? I have these guys honking and pointing at me on Joyce so I pull over in McDonalds and wait for AAA, it only took 30 mins total for them to get there and for me to get on my way!!! Just a little Jewell to a monday :)

Relaxing evening watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer! Welcome December!!!

This day was so fun learning of all the history of our country. Here are some photos from our day! We went all over and wore ourselves out!

In this exhibit we got to see the Star Spangled Banner, it was really big and one of my favorite moments

White House: George Washington never lived here, I thought that was sad, he deserved more than anyone being the first president

Nation's Capitol where we did a tour. 

Sat. night supper at this amazing French restaurant 

Went back to the hotel and relaxed for the rest of the evening. We were supposed to leave at 5:15 Sunday evening and when I checked us in Sunday morning our time changed to 11:40! Worked out great, I got home early and to a clean house, cooked supper and laundry done, what a great husband I have!!!!

This weekend Marietta and I went to Washington DC. We were originally suppose to be visiting our friend Ali and due to changes in their life, her and husband are living in MS. So we went ahead and had a fun girls' weekend! I've never been here and really enjoyed learning so much about our country! I feel like a real American now! 

We went to Georgetown and ate at this Mediterrean Restaurant

Friday night we ate at a Mexican restaurant. Kara, Amanda, Chelsea, Jordan,Amy and me


After the girls just visited and the bots played cards till 4:00am!

Saturday the girls went shopping and the boys watched football :)





That evening Jordan found us a sports bar to watch the Razorback game. They were also having a Halloween party, it got really funny by the time we left :) they had fire pits outside so Jordan ran to get stuff for smores, yummy





After the game we went back to our cabin and played a couple of games. We grabbed breakfast at Crackel Barrel Sunday morning and then headed home.




The crew that went. We desperately missed Joe and Elizabeth, but they were celebrating the birth of their son, Asa!!!! He is amazing!!!!
