How many states can we see on one vacation?
Start in Alaska, hop over to Washington skip to Missouri. Jump over to Iowa, kids went to Nebraska, I went back through Missouri to Kansas, then back to Missouri. Soon I’ll be headed back to Iowa for one more night, then return to Missouri to catch a flight.
So for our family, it looks like 6 is our magic number.
I think I already have jet lag.
We’ve enjoyed every minute, every mile and especially every smile.
ETA: I forgot Oklahoma.
Last Sunday I took the kids to meet their Aunt De to spend time with their Nebraska family. Talk about a sweet reunion!
They were so happy to see her!!
With the big kids being gone, me and the little mister had to hang out at Aunt Claire’s and get by without them. It was rough let me tell ya! Little Mister missed his siblings terribly.
But we managed.
We decided Monopoly was a good idea, until…
Uncle John decided to be a jerk and put hotels up.
Short bus candidate.
But all was well by morning and we had our coffee.
More quietness with -3 kids than I’m used to.
Friday was travel day, back to SE Kansas. And we’ve been going ever since.
Had a great visit with our cousins from Louisiana and reminisced some red dirt, fire ants and lizzards. Some of the best childhood memories!
Had lots of fun with Bryan and his family. Then Emma late Sat night. Finally got to meet all of her lil ones!
More to do today so I am up and at ’em earlier than I’d normally be…
But the homesickness is creeping in. And I’m ready for my big kids to be back.
A few more people to see, memories to be made and laughs to be had then it’s North to Alaska, my home, sweet home.
This boy loves this dog. She tolerates him mostly…
Applegate farms uncured turkey bacon… Brings me great joy!
We traded glasses… She couldn’t open her eyes. Lol
Dinner time is better when shared with those you love.
This time it’s the BIL.
Enjoyed some goofiness with my lil brother and Mom.
Open a difficult bottle…
Last Thursday morning, early, we embarked in our journey to see family. It Has been 2 1/2 years… Too long.
Our first sunrise before 10 am in quite a while.
On our way to make a surprise visit to Grammy and Papa, my seester and lots of folks along the way. We’ve been going nonstop since.
Alaska on my mind...
