So, we're breaking tradition this summer, and while I AM a little sad about missing out on road tripping out to Montana and Wyoming (our originally scheduled programming), I'm BEYOND thrilled to get the opportunity to show our children another part of the world!
My parents LOVED to travel and visited a good many places together before my dad passed away (nearly 10 years ago now). Since then, my mom has continued to travel, hitting up Australia, China, New Zealand, and South Africa (she's seriously a rockstar) since he's been gone. In the meantime, I've made it my life goal to get her to Antarctica so that she can check off her last continent and become a bona fide member of the Continent Club. She doesn't seem to be all that interested in such a trek (or membership for that matter), but I'm going to continue working on her. Like I said, it's my current life goal...not kidding!
With all that said, she's been to a lot of places for sure, but as we all know, this wonderful world is big, and there's always more to see. Shoot, I'm still trying to see & do everything on my list in my own country, and that’ll take more than just one trip to each state! Last summer, she told me that still on her list to visit were both Ireland and Scotland, and not only was she planning a trip, she wanted to take us all with her...
So, that's how we got to where we are now...
Looking forward to our grandest family adventure yet...what a GIFT!
And, we're off!
