Oh, the Places We'll Go

A couple of weeks ago we went on a short vacation "up north." My brother came in to town and I found a last minute vacation condo on Craigslist and we had an amazing time. If I ever get the pictures off my phone I will post them.

We took our kids on some LONG day trips. Two days were 10 hours of driving, hiking and site-seeing. They were awesome. They liked it. They didn't complain (much). And at some point I had this thought: Wow, no diapers to tote along, no stroller, and no snacks to pack in order to prevent major meltdowns. Awesome.

I loved my babies and yet I'm loving this season of life. I have little adventurers. All of them love trips, the car, planes, adventures. Everleigh needs to be carried a little on long hikes but she did most of a mile and a half dune hike.

Not too long along I asked Ben "What are your top three places to visit?"

"I can't decide," he responded.

"Take some time and think about it," I said.

"Mom, I've been thinking about it for months!"

That's my boy. Kyrie also has travel on the brain and she is having a terrible time narrowing it down.  So we work and save and take another trip.
