We had 3 generations stay at the Butterfly Bungalow this weekend. He brought his 5 year old and grandmother to visit family.
It reminded me of a road trip that my cousin and I took with our grandparents. We drove from Texas to New York, and quite honestly probably drove them crazy! My cousin and I were 11 or 12 so we were chatterboxes the entire trip. When we got to the hotel they were ready for bed. Not us, we were wound up and kept them awake most of the night laughing!
What is your best memory of a road trip as a kid?
๐ธFUN FACT: Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is a tough vase-shaped shrub known for its prolifoc, summer blooms. It can tolerate partial shade, but it thrives best in full sun making it an excellent, low maintenance landscaping choice for Texas.
What's even crazier is that my Mom had several of them in Cuba NY. They can withstand winter temperatures below 20 degrees as well as our brutally hot Texas summers!
