Weekend road trip

We went to Springfield this last weekend. Payton got to go on her first road trip to go see her Uncle Sean. We had a great time. We arrived Wednesday night and had a wonderful surprise Thursday morning. A flat tire, yes that is always a treat, and of course it couldn't be patched so we got to buy a new one. We got to go see the new building Sean teaches in and while he had class on Thursday, we took Payton for her first Brandson experience. She could hardly contain her excitement. We did a little shopping at the outlet mall and then drove back to Springfield.
Payton was excellent the entire trip. She let us all run around and she slept great all the way there and home. We walked down to a park at the end of Sean's street and she had her first encounter with swinging, she loved it. Friday Sean had a barbecue at his new house in honor of Payton visiting. Mom and Dad are just chop liver. She played with everyone and let anyone hold her and talk to her. We also went to a tailgate party on Saturday morning before there Homecoming football game. The weekend was fast but lots of fun and then we drove home Saturday afternoon.
I got a wild idea and cut off all my long hair before we left town on Wednesday. It will hopefully help out. Payton just pulls it all the time and I never really had much time to try and do it and make it look nice and out of a ponytail. So I just went for it, we will see how I like it, only time will tell.
