5,500 Miles


After 38 days and 5,500 miles on the road, the five of us are back from our epic adventure. We visited relatives all over the west coast and Colorado. We slept in more different beds than I can count. We were driven to wit's end by our three-year-old. We watched our two-month-old become a three-month-old. We spent a LOT of hours together in a minivan. I have listened to "Barbie and the Diamond Castle" at least five times and sortof know the words to the theme song sung by Katharine McPhee. My (now) seven-year-old learned to play Monopoly, Payday, Gin Rummy, Cribbage and Poker. My three-month-old can hold up his head and laugh.

It was the best month of my life. This was my favorite picture of the trip. Captured the sheer glee of Noodle, age 3.5!
