Should I stay or should I go?

Here's the question. What do you do when you don't go camping? 

My answer:  TOO MUCH!

The long and winding road......

This warm spring weather has me ready to jump in my car and take off.  I don’t even care where we go! 

 

That being said, we are getting excited about a road trip sprint to Missouri.  We’ll leave next week one day after school and be back home within 3 days.  That is for sure an 880 mile sprint.  That’s a long way for a weekend but we have a great reason for our adventure.

Our family on CA State Park beach FULL of sea life in tide pools.  Amazing!

In my last post I mentioned I am a control freak.  It is true.  However, now that I am home from our latest adventure I have learned that I have improved.  I think they call this growth.

I bought the book to tell me how to see Disneyland.  Where to eat, what to ride and what order to ride it all.  I read it.  All of it.  Actually, it wasn't as horrible boring as one would think.  It was helpful.  I was armed with knowledge. 

It's the journey.

I am a bit of a control freak.  Always have been.  I thought I was the only one but apparently there are a lot of us out there.  So, hopefully you understand why planning the trip is ALMOST as much fun as the trip itself.

What I did for summer vacation......

Summer is nearly over.  In a few weeks children everywhere will write the same essay….. “What I did for summer vacation.”  It was always my favorite paper of the year!  I loved telling my teacher about my summer.   But, when the papers were graded, passed out and read aloud it was hearing about the summer adventures of my friends that thrilled me to no end. 

Roadside Stops Might Be Hidden Treasure

A few years ago we took a wacky tour of Eastern Colorado, making sure we hit every wacky little museum and stop in sight.  It was truly one of our favorite adventures that taught us to never overlook something that seems like “no big deal.” 

So, with that new mind set we now travel and take our breaks at some pretty unique spots.  Today was no exception.
