My Mom and I are roadtrippin’ to Minnesota (and Wandawega!) this week!
We’ve driven 640 miles, and passed through four sunny states so far. The drive has been gorgeous! Such beautiful weather, and the trees on the sides of the road are just starting to explode with fall colors. (Rumor has it, they’re going to get more “fiery” the further north we go, too! Yay!)
We stopped in Franklin, Tennessee this afternoon and discovered a really cute shop called “Rebecca’s” while we were walking around downtown…
And this huge Sugarboo Designs sign, inside the front door at a shop called “Lulu’s”, stopped us smack dab in our tracks today…
Love it! Definitely need to make a trip back to Franklin sometime. What an adorable town!
Tonight, we’re spending the night at a Holiday Inn in Mount Vernon, Illinois. Unfortunately, the internet connection here is less than stellar, and I had to search high and low for one, so that I could put this post together…
You wouldn’t believe where I finally found a signal.
Or what I had to use as my desk chair.
Ahhh…life on the road.
AH! You were in my town :). Hope you had fun in Franklin. Safe travels….
oh, and as a former northern girl, you will LOVE the firey fall colors of the north 🙂
Layla,
Have a safe journey, enjoy this precious time together and Wandawega! {I so want to go there!}
Your Friend,
Deborah
PS Like Jude’s hair bobbed!
Aw, gotta love a road trip with your Mom, you two are too cute.. Enjoy this life long memory.. and thank you for bringing us along, because you had to work hard to do it.. greatly appreciated. 🙂
Hopefully the weather stays nice, it’s been gorgeous!
So fun!! I look forward to when my kids are older and we can take off on road trips.
cute! love that quote on the sign.
Make sure you stop in Lake Geneva, WI and check out the little shops in that cute town! And yes, the Fall colors are beautiful!
haha that’s cute! =)
We live in Nashville and visit Franklin often. Do not miss the opportunity to put yourself into a pastry-induced coma at Meridee’s Bakery!
Franklin, TN is one of my favorite places to shop. I’ve been to both Rebecca’s and Lulu’s! So fun! Have a lovely trip! xoxo
love your mom’s t shirt! go gators!
A roadtrip with your mom is the best. My mom and I took one to Fredricksburg, Texas. We had soooo much fun!
LOL – love the “office”. Can’t wait to see your Wandewega pics!
It’s so funny to read that youre in Mt. Vernon. I’m from that area and always had troubles, when I did live at home, with the connection.
Glad you’re on your way!
The weather is great here in MN right now and most of the trees are at peak color! What a beautiful time of year for a road trip.
you are just adorable.
Hope y’all are having fun and share about the trip when you get back.
Have fun at Wandawega! We’re in Illinois, so not tooooo far. BTW, very obsessed with those ceiling panels from Lowes. Bought some for our sunroom after seeing your post about them, and now I want to do our office and kitchen, ha ha. They’re SO easy to work with and you can’t tell them apart once they’re up from the more expensive ones. Thanks again for that post!
We all know that the “throne” can sometimes be the best place to take your laptop! 🙂 lol
You and your momma look so happy…I just love it!
I read the sign about using your days for good…so I’ve decided after typing this comment, I’m going to play with my son….he’s growing up WAY too fast!
Love ya Layla! (and Kevin too..and no Kevin, you weren’t an afterthought!) 🙂

I live in Nashville and LOVE going into Franklin to check out the antique stores! I will have to go into Rebecca’s! I love that sign you saw too. Very cute! Have a safe trip!
Love that your mom is a Gator fan like me! 🙂
Oh, which route did you take through Illinois today? Mt. Vernon is South of where I live, so you may have come right through here! Yes, the leaves are looking gorgeous and will hopefully continue to get even prettier. I hope you and your mom have a wonderful trip! You two look so much alike! 🙂
you and your mom are so adorable!
LOL, friend. I’m with ya. 😀
Xoxo
