Road Trip!

Today we took Buddie on his longest road trip yet. I think it was 345 total miles.

We headed out mid morning and drove to Red Wing Minnesota. We went to several stores and then found the Red Wing Pottery store and found a great fiesta outlet. I told Boyd that I was overwhelmed and I didn't know what to get. They had so many shapes that I can't find around here and of course they had every color. I stayed within my price limit and I was happy.

After that we ambled down the road and passed through Lake City. Both Boyd and I loved the town and thought we could live there. It's next to the Mississippi and Lake Pepin.

We meandered down the road aways and went through a town that was just hit by strong winds or a tornado, still waiting for the final report. Then we ended up at my friend Amy's house. She graciously invited all of us in. Buddie was so well behaved even with 5 kids running around.

We had a great time visiting with Amy and our friend Martha from Colorado. I was sad when we finally had to leave.

Happily I found out Amy only lives an hour and a half from us so I see more visits in our future. =)

Buddie survived our trip and enjoyed some ball chasing at Amy's house. He was more than ready to be home and barely got in the door before he was curled up in his ball on his pillow. He hardly even wanted to get up and go to bed.
