We've gone our separate ways - Denisa's Girls' Trip

After 4.5 years of traveling all over the United States together, we've decided to go our separate ways. Mark is heading north, and Denisa is heading south. Actually, our sons invited Mark on a boys' trip to the mountains, so the girls decided to head together to the lake. This is our view of Grand Lake in Oklahoma where the Denisa and the girls spent the weekend.

We were treated to a trip around the lake on a neighbor's boat. We all enjoyed the views from the water--except our granddaughter, Carter. She didn't care for that required life jacket that her other grandmother put on her for the boat ride.

Carter loves the water, so she did like kicking in the pool that overlooks the lake. She's here with the younger members of the girls' trip cast. That's our two daughter-in-laws and a dear friend that made the trip with us.

This younger group is also teaching us about the art of hammocking. These portable hammocks fold up into a tiny bag that would fit into our space in the motor home. It looks like we need one of these for our travel arsenal.

We were hosted at the lake house by our daughter-in-law's parents. They have a beautiful vacation home that they graciously shared with our group.

We had a day of rain, so we had a good excuse to stay inside and play games until midnight. The next day we had great weather for a walk around the neighborhood that overlooks the lake.

Of course the star of our girl trip was the youngest female in our group. With both grandmothers there to spoil her, we think that Miss Carter enjoyed her girls' trip.

After all that time with the girls, Denisa is really missing Mark.  We have a special guest blog-writer in the next edition, as Mark writes his first blog ever to describe his time with the men on the boys' trip. Stay tuned!
