Hi, friends. For the last week and a half, my family has been driving around the midwest US on our annual vacation. Unfortunately, my mom didn’t accompany us, but my dad, my brother, my boyfriend, and I have had a great time.
My family has taken this trip in early summer for several years now.
My dad was born and raised in Arkansas, so we visit some of his relatives and drive up to Mountain View in the Ozarks. Since he grew up in the 1960’s listening to Cardinals baseball games on the radio, we also go to a couple Cardinals games in St. Louis, Missouri. Lastly, we stay in Tunica, Mississippi and go to the movies. In St. Louis and Tunica, we stay in casinos with nice pools. I’ll play video poker once or twice on the trips, but I don’t have much money to throw away, hehe.
Here are some pictures from our trip!







I listen to a lot of Southern gospel and hymns with a few contemporary artists included. While on the road, I discovered some contemporary worship songs I’ve kept on repeat. The last group, Anthem Lights, makes gorgeous a capella medley covers of hymns. Here are some of my favorites.

Thanks for reading! Does your family have an annual vacation? Have you seen Incredibles 2? What’s your favorite worship song right now?
I miss you ! When the family is gone, you would think i had more ‘FREE’ time. But alas, I just work more. 🙂

The Cards played the ‘Bears’! Did you mean the ‘Cubs’? Your annual trip is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

As I tell my wife when I confuse a name, or fact, …. ‘same thing’. 😂

Glad you enjoyed your trip, even more glad my Cubs won the first 2 games and that series in St. Louis. #FlyTheW

It was actually the Padres, haha. Congrats, though! The Cards aren’t too hot this year.

Fun! And you were in my home state! Tunica is several hours away for me, but hey, still cool!
We don’t take an annual vaca and have never gone off, all 3 of us (hubby, daughter and I) for an extended trip beyond a weekend. When we do, however, it will be EPIC – hoping to make a first time trip for all of us to Universal Studios sometime in the next year or so.
Loved the pics and hearing about your adventures. I haven’t seen the new Incredibles movie, but if my child hasn’t seen it when she gets back from her dad’s next week, it’s on my to-do list.
