Traveling is always something that we've wanted to do, but has been on the back burner until well, now. Our oldest turns five in June (how, God, how?!?!?) and our daughter is three and a half. If you had asked me a while ago if I would have thought I'd take them camping in a tent for two nights and then drive five more hours to another state besides, I would have said heck to the no. I just never knew what life LOOKED like traveling with kids. Largely because I didn't know what it looked like for just ME, as a twenty-nine year old woman. I went on family vacations (lots), sure, but in my own adult years? My husband and I have been to St. Augustine, Florida and then Gulfport, MS; and that is in 8.5 years of marriage. So here we are, on a VERY big trip, and so far, it tops the charts. The memories we've made with our kids, watching them learn, adventure, explore, and GROW as tiny humans--this time is irreplaceable. We're so thankful our two VERY dear friends Tim and Clayton joined us, without them, we wouldn't have laughed [or kept our sanity] NEARLY as much. This is largely a giant photo dump, and I plan on organizing my thoughts and emotions into another post. So for now, curl up and enjoy part one of our adventuring! (Oh, and the baseball cap that I hardly took off this entire trip? Gigi Pip's Laci Hat in Red--seriously, SO stinken cute and comfy, and no hair washing required, haha! Total win for two solid nights in a tent and hiking up mountains!)
