Wednesday morning we surprised Gram by showing up at her house. Her face was priceless, I loved it! After explaining our concerns about Louie and watching him gobble up his food it was clear that he was comfortable at her house. We left him there while we ran a couple errands around town since we had the time and opportunity to do so. Our first stop was Zaxby's which was on our list of places we wanted to eat while in FL...or just south of KY in this case. Lunch was delicious and just a good as I remembered...Zaxby's should really bottle and sell their Zax sauce!
After filling our bellies we hit Discount Tire for a balance and rotation before getting a car wash. We started this trip with a clean car but you wouldn't believe the bugs you hit on a 16 hour drive, ha!
We grabbed an early dinner at Texas Roadhouse with Gram and Aunt Barb before heading to the cemetery. We chose to eat dinner earlier because it was raining and we wanted to try and not be at the cemetery while it was raining. Gram and Barb needed to change the flowers on both my Great-Grandma's graves and my Grandfather's too.
Being there was incredibly sad and made me miss being able to just stop by whenever I wanted to as I would if I lived in Florida...in the end though, I am so glad this was something we were able to do because it slipped my mind the last time we were in Florida and this time is precious to me.
We were able to beat the rain for a period of time but it did start to sprinkle on us...
but the rain made way for this beautiful rainbow and sunset. God's beauty and love were very evident!
Later in the evening we made a stop at Home Depot for Gram to pick out a paint color for her kitchen. She is so excited to be painting and updating some things and it is so cute!
After Home Depot, Stephen and I met an old friend of mine for yogurt at TCBY. While Matt and I stay in touch via email almost weekly, it was so nice to catch up face to face for a change!
It was a great day of vacation...
Stay tuned for part 4 tomorrow!

Beautiful sunset!!
beautiful rainbow!
my husband loves Zaxbys! Before we got married we would go like 3 times a week! haha
It's actually kind of fun to read the vacation post in a bunch of posts. I feel like I'm tuning in for another episode, and then a cliffhanger ending!!! Well, yesterday was more of a cliffhanger than today, but still I'm like, are they going to paint the room for her? where will they go after this? :-)
Keep 'em coming!
