Road Trip!

Jim and I spent this past weekend doing something entirely impractical and it was glorious. For the first time in four years we took a road trip together while the boys hosted Grandma Char and Grandpa Mike for a sleepover. Before Garrett and Drew, road trips were something we loved to do, and every year we would take at least one long one. Since the boys came, though, we've stayed pretty close to home.

After so long, and in the middle of a busy Summer of too much work and too little time, with an even busier Fall up ahead of us, it was a needed and treasured break: from home, from responsibility, from being practical. And indeed, 900+ miles in two days to see a concert was not practical. But it was a wonderful trip and full of goodness that, despite the weariness, leaves me feeling renewed and in a better place heading into the crazy months ahead, not to mention daily life, for a while.
