Family Road Trip: (noun/verb) 1. Spend rediculous amount of money to critique your Superman driving (I'm amaxophobic, seriously look it up) , while sharing hotel rooms with your darling four teenagers, resulting in constant refereeing and no alone time (read sex) for us. All for the sake of creating family :)
First in Yahk, BC (reunion- in laws), the in Nephi, Utah (sister) and then a week in Anaheim (park hopping).
We have learned a few things...
Three weeks is a very long time to be together :)
-after three days at the happiest place on earth, there was nearly a Lord of the Flies moment with our darling offspring.
Teenagers are just really tall toddlers when you combine low blood sugar and tired and so are their parents.
-fast food meals and too many churros have a price.
The longer/farther I am away from home the more I realize how blessed we are to live on Vancouver Island.
-we put 6,400 km on the van and saw mountain rainbows, a big sky sunset, dirt devils dance across the desert, vivid red rock, sky scrappers and lighted ribbons of night nighttime traffic, breath taking rugged coastline, the Golden Gate bridge, the redwood forests....
All beautiful things...but our HOME is a beautiful blessing.
Just so happy to be home!
