After 20+ hours of driving over these last 2 days, it was nice to have a relaxing day checking out the area around Lake Conroe.  There are lots of boats, fishing, ducks and cool things to see.  We decided to spend most of the day outside of the car.  Imagine that!

We celebrated the 1 month anniversary of Travis’ surgery and he decided we would go to Chili’s for dinner.  To see him running around now, you would never guess that he had brain surgery a month ago. We have Travis’ consultation appointment on Monday to get things started.  Here we go…
