As I sit here and reflect on my travels over the past 2 weeks I realize that I have been blessed to spend time with many family members and friends, see a friend get married, drink my favorite (and sorely missed) coffee, explore new parks with my boys, cook and bake in my parents' kitchen, and right before I leave I will get to see my cousin's new baby boy who was born yesterday. In life people often think of material things as the good stuff, and of course I am guilty of that, too. I haven't been shopping for new things, eating at fancy restaurants, or spending time at some fancy resort during this 2-week vacation. I've just been enjoying the above mentioned simple things...the good stuff, in my opinion.
I get to spend one more day and night in Des Moines after tonight. Then a quick stop in Kansas City - and I mean quick - like one hour. Then onto St. Louis where we will stay until our departure on Sunday night. Traveling so many miles in a car with two children may seem daunting to most, but it sure has been a pleasure for me! I am in hopes it will be an annual adventure for the boys and me!
