You would think that in the summer we would have more time to take pictures and chronicle our adventures together, but alas, nearly two months have passed without any update from the Fruit Patch. As most of you know, Melon and Bry decided to take an extended vacation from the Big Dutch Apple Pie this summer. Below is a brief summary of our travels so far. Stay tuned for some pictures . . .

May 23 We set sail for Cincinnati at 3:00 a.m. in our rented PT Cruiser! Stylish!

May 25 We continue on to Iowa to visit Melon's parents.

June 6 We spend a short weekend in Minneapolis with our dear friends, Sarah and Jeremy.

June 12–14 We take on the annual Bell Tower Festival in Melon's hometown. Aunt Cathy, cousin Kelly, Aunt Debbie, and Uncle Duane join in the fun!

June 17 We head down to Kansas City to party with Melon's best friend, Millie, and her husband Josh.

June 20–23 Grandma Gerry Plebuch passes away after a long battle with Alzheimer's. We spend the weekend with the family in Hastings, Nebraska.

July 3 The time came to say goodbye to Melon's parents, and we hit the road for South Carolina.

One little Honda Civic, a devoted husband, a very sick wife, a crazy Yorkie, 1,070 miles and 19 hours later, we arrived at Brian's parents. To be continued . . .
