We’re Back
Can you say tired of sitting? We just returned from our trip home to visit family in Idaho and let me tell you 16 hours in the car for a bonsai driving trip is a long time to be in the car. And you know you’ve driven that stretch too many times when you recognize tiny changes in the many one car towns you drive through. It was all worth it, especially for the kids who had an absolute blast with all their cousins. My daughter cried the night we had to leave and she’d been there for two weeks! Clearly there was no burnout for her.
The week was packed with fun and entertainment. We started with my husband’s 20 year class reunion, a jam packed memory event. We snuck in a night at the cabin in Island Park, took in a parade, played water games and even got to be there for the new arrival of my sister’s baby. The rest of the week was showered with trips to the movies, eating out and staying up way too late visiting. It makes me so very grateful for the wonderful families both my husband and I have. Family is truly where it’s at.

Welcome home; enjoy sleeping in your own bed! Weather here on the east coast is hazy, hot and HUMID. We’re leaving Saturday for a trip north…although nowhere NEAR as long a distance as yours
So I’m looking forward to things like cooling off in the Saco River, not having to cook, changes in pace, etc.
Later,

Oh the river trip sounds fun! My own bed is wonderful, the heat is blistering. I always smile when I see your name pop up.

16 hour drive? You are a brave woman. I thought about driving down to Disneyland instead of flying. But I just didn’t think the kids and I were ready for a 12+ drive (w/o kids).
