Lol, definitely a rookie error there on my part !
It was so lovely to be able to do the family thing. Nice to make memories like that.

Ah, the soup, just sounds plain wrong but totally delish !

Oh wow I got choked up just reading about the reunion between your uncle, Dad and Gran so I can only imagine how emotional it was for you! How lovely that you made it happen
A town called Hope! That's my daughters name, she would be made up to go there
Lots of driving done today but what a fab car you've got!

I love when vacation can coincide with seeing family. It was especially nice for you to include a Skype session for your Uncle.

The spaghetti bowls of Dallas traffic can be so frustrating! I once kept missing an exit in Houston and had to pay the same toll 3 times while I circled trying to figure it out. And my Dad likes to tell the story of how he took a quick nap on I35 heading to Oklahoma City and woke up with my Mom heading to Amarillo. The roads are so clearly marked I can't see how that happens!

That potato soup looks wonderful! I love sour cream in lots of soups and chilis, so maybe it is an American thing?

Yes Andy loved that car ! It was so good to hook the family up - its a shame we haven't been close enough to do it before. I hope we get the chance to do it again another time.
There were some great names - Hope and Friendship were my favourites. Such a neat address to have.

That Dallas freeway really was a nightmare, the signs came up so fast and there was so much traffic we couldn't get over quick enough to exit and the satnav just kept going round in circles. That is a funny story about your parents though - the signs are a bit of a clue

I like sour cream too - It was just a bit odd it was such a huge dollop that it made the middle of the soup a bit cold. Maybe I should have stirred it in when I first got it.

Why am I getting such an ominous feeling about what’s to come for you?

How lovely for your uncle and gran to reconnect like that.

Oh no to the spinning room. A bit of a stressful journey but how lovely you got to see family and the beauty of technology allowed the rest of your family to talk to each other over the pond.

Yeah Hilton went right down in our view. Can you believe we got back to find the Hilton in Washington also charged us some extras almost exactly a YEAR after our 2016 stay due to an error on their part ... Not using that chain again
