We have had a nice visit with my parents. It has gone by way too quickly since we will be hitting the road tomorrow to return to Texas. The house is quiet right now- everyone is enjoying a nice afternoon nap. I passed out for about 2 hours, which is unlike me. I am up now and not even their cats are stirring!
We were able to get out of Austin around 3:30 AM on Friday morning which allowed us to arrive in Hattiesburg at 1:30 PM. The trip was fairly uneventful (thank goodness) however, we did stop at my favorite travel breakfast spot... Cracker Barrel. YUM- there is nothing else like it! So, yesterday we enjoyed a relaxing dinner before getting into a HEATED game of Dominoes... Don't play something that gets in the way of my Mom's strategy! :o)
Today we went shopping at our favorite local bargain place- Hudson's. Its an interesting place... they basically buy out stores that are closing, have overstock or discontinued items. Sometimes you go and there isn't any thing exciting, other times you can haul out half the store! We found a few things like new outdoor door mats! Jason contemplated a walking cane in preparation for his surgery on Tuesday and I found some cute stationary. My Dad was thrilled when he went to the register to pay for his new car sun visor and it was only 33 cents!! The thrill of Hudson's...
In about an hour we are going to see "Get Smart" at the movie theater. Then we are taking my parents to dinner as an early birthday present for my Mom. It will be an early night for us since we face a 10-hour drive again tomorrow. I fear that half the nation will be doing the same drive home, so the traffic may be bad.
I hope that everyone's 4th was enjoyable. If you are traveling as we are, hopefully your return home is safe...

Wow! I was going to say, "do you ever sleep?!?", but you said you actually napped. Every waking moment of your summer is PACKED! You are my blogging hero ;)
