Hagrid Is Going Places

I was did a small series called Hagrid is Going Places. I had the lego Hagrid in my coat pocket and then my purse for months (he's still in my purse actually), and I would occasionally take him out and take his picture! I may get into it again. In the mean time, here are the pictures.

On my brother's new truck

On my novel

In front of an aquarium at the dentist (I should of put him in the chair!)

Restaurant in Port Huron, MI (Kate's Downtown)

At a restaurant in Fenton, MI (The Laundry)

Think I should do more? If I do, I'll make the shots from further away, give a better sense of location and environment, which is most of the fun!

Pancakes

I made pancakes for the first time today.

It was from a pancake made in Michigan! Fun.

I put chunky applesauce in, and apple sauce, strawberry and strawberry syrup on top.

Of course, sausage and mimosa on the side! Husband and I thought it came out good, woo!

Road Trip

Husband and I drove from northern metro Detroit to Gatlinburg in Tennessee. The furthest either of has ever driven. We left our home at 5:30 am and arrived around 3:45 pm to the welcome desk and at 4:00 pm we walked through the door of our cabin. That's a ten and a half hour trip (thanks to the stops and breaks). I am nervous about the drive back, it's supposed to snow and rain the entire time through each state. I do not want the trip to be any longer!

We were going to explore places on our way back, but that might not happen due to exhaustion and weather. But, that's ok. Because we have had an amazing time. The drive was something new for us and it was fun even if it was long and tiring. Being here is amazing too. The view is breath taking, the town is insane, and the experience is one of a kind.

I want to be inspired to write, but it's so tough when I'm overwhelmed and feel the pressure to WANT to have something to say. I know it will be a great thing to think back on. Which is good enough for me. Ok, it's not, I want to write now, haha.

I want to share with you the great names of things we saw along the way.
