Blogtoberfest Day Eight: Shopping With Erin And Shylee

I spent a wonderful day with Erin and Shylee.  We live two and a half hours from each other, so getting together for mother/daughter time doesn't happen nearly often enough.  I did the driving today and made the trip up to her.  It was a beautiful drive.  The sky was blue and the trees have started turning.  Traffic was light.  Perfect driving conditions actually!

We spent the day shopping.  Our bathroom redo is almost finished and it was time to buy the fun stuff.  You know, the shower curtain, towels, accessories.  Shopping can be so frustrating where I live.  It's a rural area  surrounded by rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.  It's really quite beautiful here but is lacking in the retail department!  More advanced civilization is an hour away.  But it is always more fun to drive a while longer to shop with Erin/

After shopping, my son Sean and son-in-law Dan, joined us for dinner.  Too soon it was time to say good-bye and head home.  It makes for a long day, but is so worth it!  I love spending time with my kids.
