What we've really been up to...

Well, good morning everyone!  I have a confession to make...I was up to something last week....

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N! 

Yes, it's true, I did not tell you...I'm sneaky like that.  {call me paranoid, but I wasn't up for broadcasting our absence to the world} Some of you may remember me being a little stressed week before last and feeling like I had too much to do ...well, now you know why.  I was getting ready for a trip!  Make sense?  

Today it's back to work, and back to reality.  Vacations certainly make you appreciate your "norm" though, don't you think?  I mean, don't get me wrong, I LOVE  vacations, and I enjoyed every second, but I am all refreshed and ready to go back to my life with a new zest!

Saturday before last, we set out on a little road trip, armed with 88 ounces of iced coffee goodness...

We enjoyed that "we're on vacation" feeling.  You know, the one when you're just starting off, and you have a whole week to look forward to.  Ahhhh, so wonderful.

We passed through the Flint Hills.  Such beautiful country.  It seems to stretch on forever!

They were burning the fields, and it was awesome to see.

Any guesses where we were headed?
