God Bless America




July 2 We departed Arlington at 4:30 am and were checked into the Baymont in Lawrence, KS by 1 pm. It’s the perfect time to travel because it was cool, there was no traffic and we managed to miss all rush hours in Oklahoma City. After a brief nap, it was out to the old homestead to finalize selling the house. We spent the evening with my parents and my daughter Shauna.
Miles traveled 514 Best gas price $2.28 in Lawrence (beat Oklahoma City $2.29)

July 3 – Off to Kansas City where we joined forces with Haylee to meet the bride and groom, Jessica & Spencer. The day was spent meeting wedding vendors. That evening we were invited to Dave and Karen Luebbert’s home (Spencer's Father and Stepmother) in Independence, MO where I quickly discovered that Spencer is a younger clone of his Dad. It was a wonderful evening that included great food, good conversation and a fun game of Apples to Apples. I have always loved Spencer, and I equally enjoyed his parents.

July 4 – Met with more wedding venues but also found time to get some shopping for brides maid dresses in at Oak Park Mall. We kept the sales clerks confused, because we were shopping for two weddings. Gary and Spencer were able to do some “guy” bonding. That evening we ventured back to Lawrence for a couple of holiday parties. (Yummy sorbet Amanda!!) We made it back to Weston Crown Center in time for some amazing fireworks displays we could see from our room.

July 5 – On the Road Again! Off to O’Fallon, IL for a week of work. First order of business was to inspect the home we need to flip find a renter.
Miles traveled 523 Highest gas price seen $2.57 in O’Fallon IL.
