We are on day 16 of traveling - that's a lot of miles and hotels and different beds and change and cool things. We are learning a lot about "how" our family does this and some of the peaks and valleys.
Teenagers who are a different sleep cycle certainly qualify as one of the challenges! They like to stay up later and sleep later than the rest of us - and thats a bit of a challenge when everyone is sleeping in one room (and when if you wake them up, they are pretty grumpy!). We have managed to work around it pretty well...
The peaks - the absolutely amazing reminder that creation provides of our great God! NO man's imagination nor no "random geological movements" could possible have sculpted such beauty as this part of this country shows off. One of the girls said "God was showing off when He did this"
Yes He was!
Another peak - Cami is super interested in learning right now, so she asks a lot of questions. Thanks to the magic of smart phones - we are able to answer them. We learned a lot about this tunnel yesterday!
We covered some serious miles on both side of the divide - to wind up where we will spend a few days!
Another peak - the rest areas in this part of the country! Seriously - they are NICE! We found ones with play structures and they all have clean bathrooms free of graffiti and space and green! This one had a bridge and a stream through it - really? We ARE in Kansas!
This girl - she has hugged just about every person she has seen every single mile - whether or not she knows them. She gets a smile every single time!
SNACK TIME!
This app saved us from some serious "h-angry" related valleys!
I have to say - the actual traveling has been pretty good! One or another at one time or another has struggled - and we have one who "go home now" which is totally understandable.
Pressing on to the national parks tomorrow!
Isn't it amazing the beauty God has created. I know drives can get hard, but I LOVE them. Every small town or cool tunnel we pass, I read all about it. It is so interesting. Your girls will never forget this trip for the rest of their lives!
