Grand Ole Opry

Mark drove from Oklahoma on his way to Tennessee stopping to see Graceland and whatever caught his fancy.  He and Trina loved the backstage tour of the Opry.

Oklahoma vs. Ohio State

Mark took his annual football trip and this year it was to Oklahoma to meet up with Kenny and Debbie before heading to Tennessee.

Hmmm....can you spot the only one NOT in red?

Peacocks

We saw this beautiful peacock but I didn't get a picture the first time we saw him.  Fortunately, we saw him again and got pictures.

Dunns River Falls

One of the suggested tours was hiking to the top of Dunns River Falls.  It was surprisingly very crowded but fun!  One of the couples we'd met at dinner the night before were with our group and fun to spend the morning with.

 

Jamaica

Mark and I traveled to San Sousi, Jamaica, for a short vacation in celebration of our anniversary.  The weather was perfect and the accomodations clean and big.  It was our first time at an all-inclusive resort and it was great.  The grounds were very pretty and the staff friendly.  Mark tried scuba diving and paddleboarding while I enjoyed lounging on the beach.

Oregon

Ryan and his girlfriend, Shazy, took a quick weekend trip to Oregon as he wanted her to see how beautiful it is.  He hopes to do his last years of college at a college there.

Donut from Voodoo Donuts!

Magnolia Farms

Mom and I went to Houston for a long weekend to look at some houses the realtor had set up appointments for.  We decided to start our time in Texas off by visiting Magnolia Farms in Waco.  We are huge fans of Chip and Joanna Gaines' show, Fixer Upper, so were excited to see their new store in person.  Sadly the bakery was a couple of weeks from opening but Mom says the sample cupcake was the best she's ever had!  [As far as househunting went, the first house we looked at was perfect but I chose to have Mark come see it before we made an offer.  Bad decision as it was sold days before his arrival in Houston.  Couldn't have been more disappointed.]
