The kids and I took a road trip for spring break this year. We left on Saturday and started driving to NC to visit family and friends.
The first night we stayed in Nashville with friends from seminary (also college and post college - lots of overlap!). My kids loved making new friends with their kids. Laine and their eldest boy were just babies when they last saw each other.
Next we visited my mom and Alex (and ended up staying an extra night thanks to the stomach bug descending on Cole and me). After that we made our way to my brother's house.
The cousins loved playing together - we went to a children's museum and hung out around the house.
Cole and Easton hit it off especially well - they are only 5 months apart.
The following day we drove across town and stayed with more friends from seminary. On the way I took the kids to see a long-time friend from elementary through college. It was fun to reconnect in person again. Penny flew in that afternoon to join us for the remainder of our week.
On the way back we stayed another night with my mom - visited a local park on a windy but sunny afternoon.
On Friday we stayed the night again in Nashville to split up the drive and finally made it home on Saturday. Seven nights away, 4 different houses, lots of people to see and meet. What a week! A big thank you to everyone who hosted us and put up with our chaos!!
(I will briefly mention the trauma of the stomach bugs and carsickness we experienced while traveling. I'm trying to forget it and just focus on the fun we had seeing and catching up with everyone!)
