Visiting Grandma





















We had a wonderful trip upnorth to see my grandmother. We left last Thursday and returned on Monday afternoon. My grandmother lives in an assisted living and had a stroke before we left for China in January. She lost a lot of movement in her left side which was difficult for her since she was very independent. We were so anxious for Julia to meet her great grandmother for the very first time. We stayed at a hotel that had a waterpark in it so that was fun for Evan and Julia. They also had a Bonfire every night with Smores and two of the nights they showed a movie off of the hotel outside so that everyone around the pool could enjoy it.






Grandma looked good and enjoyed our company. We had dinner with her at the assisted living on Friday night and met a few of her friends. My brother did drive upnorth on Saturday with his wife and son and my mother. It was nice getting together with everyone.






John initiated Julia to the waterpark even though the main word was "No" she managed to give everything a try! She loved it when the big bucket of water would drop a huge load of water on her! She liked the childrens slides. Tiki Tom (The Hotel Mascot) did show up for one of the Bonfires and insisted on pushing Julia on the swing....she Loved It!!






The drive was 8 hrs one way with a couple of stops. It was not as bad as we thought it would be....there was a little fussing but made it there and back in one piece!

  1. Hi, I'm not sure how to rotate the pictures once they are in. You can take them out(Go to Edit Post and then delete the pictures) rotate them in whatever picture place they are stored in and then put them back. It looks like you had a wonderful visit. The hotel sounds neat. I'm glad you didn't think 8 hours was too bad, because 8 hours is HALF WAY TO NEW YORK!!!!!!We can meet 1/2 way!!!!!!
