Our Vacation-Part 1 for Three or More Tuesday

I going to be kind of outside the box probably with my

Three or More post.

We just got back from our trip yesterday

and now I think I am ready to start blogging about the trip

in bits and pieces.

~~~~~~~~~

The Three or More will

be Helmi getting her picture

taken in three or more places.

I hope that works for a Three or More post.

So without further ado,

here goes!

Helmi was very happy to be included in our vacation plans this time.

Here she is posing in the chair in our hotel room.

We stayed at the hotel my daughter works at and

unbeknown to us, she asked for a room upgrade

if the room was available.

We were pleasantly surprised

to find out we were in a suite for our stay there.

So Helmi was excited too and

tried out the chair first.

Then she had to check out one of the beds!


Here she is in a new location. Inside my daughter's car.


She decided she wanted to see where we were going as


our daughter took us around where she lives.


Another location.


At Cracker Barrel.


And now I don't know why blogger is double spacing here.


We are eating breakfast with Sara's co-worker and her husband.


They were happy to pose with Sara and Helmi!


Helmi posed with us too.


She kept herself busy with this game during the meal.


Then we went outside and she hopped on to the large checkerboard.


She decided to claim a rocking chair too!


Helmi, I think that chair is tad too big for you.


Don't slip through that open space behind you.


B-Daddy and Sara check out the rocking chairs too.


Oh, look! Helmi found a chair that is closer to her size.


Then it was back in the car.


This time she put on her seatbelt.


B-Daddy and Sara play on their laptops.


Helmi decides to join them by sitting on Sara's shoulder.


We had two beautiful days there. Then on the third day we woke up to rain.


And lots of leaves on Sara's car.


We also meet her pets. Here she is holding Oreo.


That painting behind her was done by my godmother.


Another shot of Oreo.


And a picture of her dog, Blossom.


Blossom is a licker and was happy to lick my hand


when she got a chance.


~~~~~~~


You have met two of my grandpets. There are


four more at my son's house. But that is another post.

~~~~~~~~

And now thank you to Tam at

The Gypsy's Corner

for hosting Three or More Tuesday!

Go on over and see who else is posting today.

Happy Tuesday!

What great combo, a bear & Cracker Barrel. How good is that? Next time, try the Coca Cola Chocolate cake if you dare! But not for breakfast.

Your doll is a lucky one to get to go along on such a nice trip. I'm glad you're home, safe and sound.

Helmi fits right in with the story of the 3 bears, she found the one that fit just right. Golly Gee, your Cracker Barrel looks just like ours! I love their gift shop as well as the food, my fav is catfish,carrots and green beans. Glad you had a nice vacation!
