cross-country travels











The Martin family has just returned from a marathon cross-country journey as we drove out to Indiana to visit Theo's brother, Tim. We departed for our trip last week and took 2 days to make the trip. We crossed through New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and then into Indiana. Tim and Anne have been in Corydon, Indiana for a year now which is about 40 minutes from Louisville, KY. While we were there, we got to go to the Louisville Zoo, Holiday World (an amusement and water park), and a science museum among other things. Tim and Anne live in a brand new house on a beautiful piece of land surrounded by trees and lots of wildlife. The kids had a blast hunting for frogs, turtles, salamanders, and other critters. On our way home, we went through Carthage, Illinois and then on to Nauvoo. Our drive home took us through, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Utah. Our trip ended with a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's new house in Salt Lake. We miss them already! We are now home just in time to regroup so we can gather with all of you Rosses for our reunion! We are so excited that it is finally here!
One last note, Happy Birthday Drake, Double Digits!!!
