How did you guys convince Beth to go? I'm glad you had fun!
I wish I had known you were coming to New Orleans. You should have stayed with us! Glad you had fun. How lame that we didn't even go to any of the games and it was in our backyard!
This particular blog is 2 good 2 be forgot 10. And with that Carly, know I loved reading it and seeing the pictures. Love, Christy
Casey...ha ha, I never saw that until now.
Melanie....you will have to ask her if it was worth it, but I was glad she came even for the day.
Melanie.....I didn't even think about that, I would have loved to see you guys. then again when you have a bunch of kids I don't think you can technically invite yourselves as house guests! but dang it, that would have been fun. is a visit to Kentucky in your near future?
Christy....I'm glad you enjoyed it!
ok how the heck did I sign on as Ted on my own blog? I'm retarded...but the above comments were from me by the way!
Sounds like a blast!!! What a fun trip and such an opportunity for all of you to be able to go to the Championship game!!!
Soooo wonderful to be together on a road trip....I've been on too many to count growing up, but that's what memories are made of and I sure bet your kids will remember this one, as will you and Ben. Cute swimsuits, by the way!!!
What a memory!!! Loved the recap. P.S. How did I miss Benji on the TV?!? Oh yeah. I have 4 kids.
