Road Trip

Well I finally did it, I accomplished my first road trip and came to Ohio! Not on my own sillies, Grandpa Hornak came and got mommy and me on Sunday night and we left for Ohio Monday morning.  The trip was great.  I spent all eight hours or so sleeping, playing with the toys hanging from my car seat, eating bottles and listening to Mom and Grandpa’s conversations.  I became fussy a few times but only to let Mommy know I needed fed or to express my excitement or express my fading patience for my arrival in Ohio.  Grandpa played some music for me (the one guy we were listening to sounded like one of those bull frogs) and he also played something called “talk radio”, which it’s my understanding not many of my other family members (like Grandma Lynda) really care for…but I just like noise at this stage in my life so anything will do.  I think when I get older I’ll be able to have an opinion and tell Grandpa what I really think about Rush and Sean.

So I know you are all wondering what it was like for me when I crossed over in to the Buckeye State…well, let me tell you.    As I was looking out the window I saw a black box with wheels being carried by what looked to a very large brown dog with a really long tail and a lot of  big white and black type dogs.  Mommy explained to me that what we were seeing were horses pulling buggies and cows.  Silly me, I thought they were types of dogs, I mean they had four legs, ears and tails but they were a ton bigger then Gunner.  Mommy said I’ll learn more about animals and the sounds they make as I get older.  I also saw the school Mommy went to when she was a little girl, the ATI OSU branch that Grandma NeNe went to and the OARDC where Grandpa Hornak used to take Mommy and Aunti Izzy to play. 

We arrived at Grandpa Hornak’s at about Five O’clock.  Grandpa unloaded the car while I got to get hugs from Grandma Lynda and Mommy unpacked my belongings. I got to meet the biggest black dog I have ever seen! His name is Bogey.  And he really is a dog, though this dog, horse thing is getting kinda confusing because Bogey is big enough to be a horse but he is a dog…ugh so confusing.  I then got a bath and mommy got a shower as we both needed to freshen up from our long drive and wanted to smell nice since Grandma NeNe and Gpa Joe were coming over for dinner. 

After my bath the neighbor lady Andi came over to meet me.  She said she just could not wait to meet me and since she could not wait she met me naked…that’s right, naked as a Jay bird.  Mom said one would usually be embarrassed to meet someone naked but not me and besides it was not really my fault; mommy was getting me dressed after my bath.

While Mom was in the shower I became a little fussy waiting for my bottle so Grandma Lynda walked me across the street to Andi’s house and I got to meet Andi’s daughter Stephanie. After that, I got my bottle and just as I finished Grandma NeNe and Gpa Joe arrived.  Boy or boy was it nice to see all my Grandparents.  I had forgotten how tall that Gpa Joe is but when he picked me up I quickly remembered as I checked in to a new altitude up on his shoulders!  He is such a funny guy…anyway, toward the end of dinner Grandma NeNe fed me my night time bottle and I was out like a light!  I was exhausted from the trip and all those hugs and kisses.  Besides, Mommy said I had to get my rest each night because our days will be full of visitors and excitement for this whole trip.  

***I have some pics to share of my trip but mommy is trying to get them on to the computer for me so just keep your eyes peeled (what does that mean anyway, eyes peeled...???)*****
