Yes, we were on a 10 day road trip filled with good times, bad times, funny times and screaming at the top of our lungs times....ahhh!!!
We visited:
Chicago IL, Williamsburg VA, Washington D.C., Baltimore MD, Detroit MI, home to Minneapolis.
Now, onto the photos!!!
We enjoyed the Star spangled banner by the fife and drums, a reading of the declaration of Independence and the Largest American Flag in the United States was hung.It was very hot outside but we enjoyed learning about all of things that people did in 1876.
Next destination...Washington D.C.
Our next stop was to visit our old neighbors who moved to Baltimore. Receiver and their little guy really hit it off and they missed each other. It was soo fun to catch up with them!
And look at this big girl...she is turning two in just a couple of days and I can't believe how big she is...Isn't she just sweet?
Then it was onto my hometown of Detroit, Michigan. We had a great visit with my family and of course my IRL cousin Mimi and her family opened up their home to allow us to invade! Thanks to them for all the laughs over 2 days...most of which came from Receiver and Stunt Man..those 2 are turkeys ;) But let me just say that Actress and Model are growing up soo fast and are just the most adorable things...Man, tight end really needs to have a girl!!! ;) 
Stunt Man & Receiver + Cheesy Grins = 2 really interestingly fun days!!!
Our final stop on the road trip was to our Best Friends house in Chicago. We see them several times a year but we enjoy ourselves every time. They are our family and we can just hang out and do a little bit of this with them...
And now, consider yourself totally caught up. Let's just pretend that this was NOT for me who absolutely needed to document this!!! LOL

great pictures... looks like you had a great trip
I even took a deep breath at the beginning, but it wasn't that long!! You did a great job of summarizing! It looks like a good time. You left out the not so good parts, but I bet you're saving those for a not me post or something!! ;o)
Awwww, Tarah, that was a great post! And I didn't even get carpel tunnel or fall asleep once. So glad you ended up having a great time, no thanks to those tires. The pictures are great too! I love the one of you, Mimi, and Stacey!
Btw, I sent you a message on FB. Email isn't working again.
Wow! What an amazing trip. We want to take the kids to DC-soon! How cool that you got to do Williamsburg too. And your pictures were fantastic!! Glad things got better after the tire incident. :)

I told Mimi the same thing but I had no idea you guys were related! Awesome!!!!
Loved all the pictures and looks like you guys had an absolutely wonderful time!!!!!!
Tarah, you are crazier with the driving than we are!! We are hitting Chicago and Detroit on ours in a couple of weeks--Comerica Park here we come! So is that Mickey at the park? I want that pic!
Awesome stuff here! I love how you can look back at the pics of just the good stuff and later on forget about the crabby days. ;-)
Any suggestions for Chicago or Detroit???
Welcome back!Looks like a great time was had. Travelling with kids has it's stressful moments but the memories you are making as a family are priceless.I'm sure it was nice to see friends and family too,although it makes you a little melancholy that you don't get to see them more often, right??I always tear up when I leave LA...
Hi Tarah!
What a whirlwind of a trip you went on, but, oh, the memories you made that will last a lifetime! Great pictures!
Wow! It looks like you had a great time! I did not know you were cousins with Mimi!
I loved the picture of the kids and the dog. I have a golden retriever too! He is almost 13. We love him so much!
Thanks for sharing your road trip! It was a great delight!
