We spent the week in Dillon, CO in a Best Western. We were in a standard hotel room with two double beds. Lucas and Henry had school. Michael and I had to work. It was challenging when we had conference calls, or I had to get up at 6 a.m. for a meeting that started at 8 a.m. eastern time.…
We are on the move again. Twenty-five hours, 10 states, and over 1500 miles of driving to get out to Colorado Springs. It has been a long three days, but our travels were smooth. We had great weather and no traffic. The boys had school Thursday and Friday and they were able to do it in the car using our…
We are winding up our time in North Carolina. The past six months have been a lot of things: Emotional, stable, relaxing, stressful, busy, and fun. Getting to spend so much time with my dad and a lot of my family was great. It was sad because we lost Lois. It was nice to be in one place for a…
This time last year we were traveling across Costa Rica at the start of our travel journey in Central America. How are things a year later? The kids’ hair is a lot longer. We like letting Lucas and Henry explore their own style. Many people do not like their long hair, but if they like it, we support them. Self-expression…
Michael and I were talking last night about our next move. We have been in Winston-Salem for almost six months. I love being back at home. Michael is getting restless. While we were talking about our plans, I started to get agitated, even a little angry, and I was not sure why. As I lay in bed trying to go to…
Our week in Atlanta was productive. We had a long to-do list and we got it all done. We spent time with Judy’s sister. We got to walk Josie and Dexter. We got to see Grandma Miriam!!! We will be back in Atlanta and maybe next time we will get to see all of our friends and eat at our…
We have not ventured more than an hour from where we are staying since September. We are staying with Judy’s dad, who is 71 years old, so we are extremely cautious about going places. This week we took our first road trip back to Atlanta. It is a 5-hour drive, so it was easy. It is a different experience worrying…
We have chosen not to travel far from our temporary home in NC during COVID. We have done a few short getaways to cabins, but we are putting our big travel plans on hold, at least for the next couple of months. Being in one spot for a while, we have settled into a good routine. Lucas and Henry loved…
Michael, Lucas, and Henry got away for a few days of father/son bonding. The boys went about 40 minutes north to a small cabin near Pilot Mountain. We had such a great time hiking Pilot Mountain a few weeks ago, so it was a perfect spot for the boys to go back to. They spent the first afternoon away hiking…
Welcome to 2021! We rang in the New Year with cousins, aunts, uncles, dogs, and grandpa. We are lucky to have a family bubble during this time. We missed all of the family and friends we are not able to see now, but hopefully, we will be seeing them all in 2021. We had a phenomenal last meal of 2020.…
