Watermelons, Rhode Island, and the End of the Road

We made it. All 5160 miles. In that time we consumed 45 mini bags of Goldfish (along with a lot of other things), paid $0.51/gallon for a tank of gas, watched countless movies in the car, and took 563 pictures! However, we did not see any cars licensed in great State of Rhode Island. This was a big disappointment. When we made a similar trip in the Summer of 2010, Delaware alluded us until we got home and saw a Delaware plate parked just blocks from our house. No such luck this time. Before we got home we did go on one last boondoggle. It happened to be at location of our first boondoggle.

That's right. We went back to Hermiston to have lunch and get some more of that delicious melon (although we saw some today at Costco too...) Oh well, it was fun and lunch at the farm store was fabulous.

We really like them! After a relaxing day (except for the Costco trip) and a potluck at Lilly's school, we cracked one of them open and we were all delighted to enjoy that sweet, cool crunch in our own backyard! Even Nora and Gator got to enjoy a little!

Nora likes watermelon too! Her gums have been bothering her today. What better to help soothe them, right?!? Although she just scratched her soar gums and sucked the juice out of it, she liked it! A lot!

I've decided to continue the blog. I won't post as frequently as I have been, but I will try to do something once a week. I think you can 'follow' the blog and get a notification when I post or just check in now and again. Thanks for keeping up with us! We'll see you soon!!
