Where we're heading next:

Home Sweet Home

Quote of the Day

Peanut, "Wow, mom, now we can say we've been to all 50 states! What are we gonna do next?"

Homeward Bound!




The kids are wiped out. A month is the perfect amount of time for a road trip with kids this age. It was just long enough for them to understand that this was very different from a vacation; it was quite literally life on the road. Another reason it was the perfect amount of time is that now they’ll have some time to absorb their experiences and figure out how to fit them into their own perceptions of our country.

Before boarding the plane, the kids were alight with ideas of home. We’ve heard that Samson has been hiding under the bed since we left and Delilah has gotten skinny, so Peanut is ready to cuddle them out of their depression. Doodle is excited to sleep in her own bed, and I should add she’s already dressed for it, insisting on wearing her princess nightgown to the airport. Little Man can’t wait to play with his best friends again and organize all his stuff. Right now they are all fast asleep, dreaming of who-knows-what.

I’m most excited to see how the kids act out their experiences in the next few weeks before we take off again. Peanut said she lies awake every night thinking about returning to school and giving her class their presents. Oh, to be a fly on the wall!
