Visit to NC

Earlier in February we visited Bree's great-grandparents in North Carolina. We had a wonderful time with them. Bree received an early birthday gift there -- a new tricycle. She suprised us on the trip by climbing a ladder into their attic while no one was looking and locking herself in her bedroom at 6 a.m. We had to remove the lock from the door to get her out. She was terrific both legs of the 400-mile journey. She read books, sang, slept and played with mom and dad. We ate at Cracker Barrel on the way home and I think she ate more than ever before -- she had a large plate of mac and cheese and chicken and nearly ate all of it. She loved Gram's shrimp dinner too!
