Melanie in Perry

Hello my adoring fans! Melanie here, sharing with you my recent trip to see Great Grandpa and Grandma in good ol' Perry, Florida.

You see, Gramie wanted a vacation from me (Can you believe that? A vacation from perfect, adorable, sweet ME! It's ridiculous!! ...anyway) so Mommy and I were going to spend a long weekend together. On Thursday evening, after Mommy realized we already did all our usual weekend chores and we'd have nothing else to do, Mommy called Grandma to see if she wanted a visit. Well of course she did!

So Friday morning, after my morning snack of cereal and carrots, Mommy and I made the trek to Perry. I was good for the first 3 hours of the trip but then I got a little hungry and I needed a new diaper. So Mommy had to pull over the side of the road (no convenient stops in the middle of nowhere) and administer some quick NN (that's Ninny Nourishment to you). But Mommy started to worry that someone would pull over and stopped my feeding short so we could get back on the road. Big Mistake. Mommy had to pull over again a little further down the road, and then again at the Perry Walmart. While I was enjoying my NN in the Walmart restroom, I looked up at Mommy and said, "You take me to the nicest places!"

We arrived at G-Grandpa's house mid afternoon and hung out till Grandma came home. I was so excited to see her! Grandma scooped me up and Mommy disappeared to get our room in order for the weekend. I giggled like crazy at Grandma saying over and over that I was getting so... BIG and tall! ...BIG and tall! Then we all just hung out until my bedtime.

Saturday morning Grandma woke us up to do my very first yard sale! It was a ton of fun and I must say, I got some pretty cute duds. Then we went back to Grandpas for some more chilling out. Mommy tried to do all the house chores so Grandma and I could spend some valuable 1 on 1 time together. We took some photos of me and Grandma out in the fields (pictures to come). Then Grandma made Mommy a cream cheese pound cake (Mommy's favorite, apparently).

Sunday morning and it's time to leave. Grandma real quick helped us out by finishing out Melanie's Halloween costume, then we were on the road. And I was a little hellion again! I slept very well in the first leg of the trip - but the second half - ooooohhh boy! We stopped at McDonalds and two rest areas to try to keep me happy.

When we got home, Mommy had enough of me! But luckily, Daddy missed me terribly and stole me away. :) I loved being with Grandma and G-Grandpa, Perry is awesome and I was adequately spoiled, but I sure do like coming home to my Daddy!
