Ok, so here's our latest adventure. We rode over to St. Louis, MO for Chip to sign the books for that union. When we got there it was 4:00 and the receptionist told Chip that they didn't allow people to sign after 3:30. So, of all things, we had to stay overnight. We found a place very close to where he had to go in the morning, but we had Lady (our jack russell) with us. I, being the person, who hates to break or bend rules in any sort of way, did not like the idea of smuggling her in, but we really didn't have a choice. We were 3 1/2 hours from our RV park and there was no way we were driving back just for Chip to get up the next morning and head back to St. Louis. So, I sucked it up and took just about everything out of Alex's diaper bag and put Lady down in it. I then put Patrick (Alex's favorite stuffed dog) on top of her and prayed that she wouldn't bark as we went up the back way to our room. We got in the room fine and then came a night full of paranoia for me. She barked once while we were in the room, but luckily the "Shaggy Dog" movie was on Disney channel. I turned the volume up and remarked in a rather loud voice, "Alex, that sure was a silly dog on the TV wasn't it?" I'm sure most of you are laughing your heads off right now and looking back on it, I think it's rather funny too. At the time, I was terrified. So, we made it through the night and got out the next morning without being caught. I felt awful though. If the cameras got a picture of my face at any time, they could probably read "guilty" all over it! Ha ha. Oh well, it was an experience I'll never forget. I have pics of our trip home that we took the week of the 4th that I will be posting later (as soon as I get the pics added). I know I'm getting behind again, but thanks for being patient with me!
