Saturday, 29 December

Got up at 4:30 am, fed the dogs and let them out, got showered then got dressed and started packing my car up. I got Olivia up and dressed, fed and we were on the road by 6:30 am. I drank a cup of coffee before we left, filled up a travel mug, drank that and then stopped for another cup of coffee on the way. I ended up having to stop several times because I didn't eat anything but had to pee many times. I got a little lost on the way there and ended up driving an additional 50 miles. We made it to Kentucky around 1:30. Such a long drive but I was surprised how I wasn't tired at all. We got in, the dogs were so happy to be there. They ran around Katie's big yard for a while, went potty and we fed them a little while after that. They were so cute. Olivia was wide awake by then, she slept most of the way - she is such a good traveler. After unpacking, we went out for dinner and had to pick up a few things for our projects. We went to Liquor barn (duh, for Kurt), Home Depot and then dinner. We went to Checkers (it's a really good sit down restaurant, good food and really good price. After that, got back to the house, Katie watched Katie while Kurt worked on the tile in the bathroom and I hung up curtain rods and put up curtains in the great room. We got done with everything around 10:30 or so, I had already put Olivia down for the night so we stayed up till about 11:30 or so. Went to bed but didn't sleep much - Olivia was up most of the night.
