Road Trip!!

Unless you grew up as a gazillionaire traveling to far out places like: Paris, London, Milan, or even Hawaii on fancy jets I am guessing you did a road trip or two as a family vacation. When I say road trip do you conjure up images of Chevy Chase and that um how shall I say vintage station wagon? Well, my childhood road trips weren’t that bad but I did log many hours in the back seat of the car using my seat belt strap as a microphone singing along to the radio. We went to places like Mt. Rushmore, Bear Country, or just plain old camping by big lakes around.

Now that I have a little girl not only has she been on 17 flights I am currently writing this while she is on her 4^th road trip. She really seems to like being in the car for long stretches and I am certain she gets that from her Dad! The fun part about our road trips is we get to take our furry kids with us, which allows us to be gone for longer periods of time.

Before my daughter was born my husband and I would travel all the time. Our frequent trips included: Malibu, NYC, and Vegas again and again. Now it’s still a lot of travel but now more of the family oriented kind. It’s good for Chloe to get to spend time with each of her 10 grandparents while they are all still around. We will have time later to take her to place like: Disneyland, Hawaii, Greece, etc. I personally can’t wait to go to Paris and Italy. I know it will happen someday I just need to have patience.

I feel like this time in our life we are doing exactly what we need to be doing and are exactly where we need to be. I feel extraordinarily blessed for my life.
