For two weeks I am traveling cross country with my two boys, age 10 & 12.  Without Todd.  Travel with children is the only way to go.  Kids put a whole new perspective on everything and remind us of the little things we need to be grateful for that we somehow seem to forget as we age.  Here are a few comments made during the 1000+ we have put on our car so far:

• Wow!  Look how green that grass is.  I sure miss seeing that much grass! (We live in NYC 🙂 
• Look at that bridge, I love being up so high!
• Can we eat at Cracker Barrel? There are so many, they must be good.
• Look at that sunset?  Awesome!
• How cool for the hotel to buy our breakfast!
• Look at those cows. Love to see those. Have not seen cows in a long time.
• Look at all the churches.  Why are there so many churches in some parts of America and so few on Staten Island?
• I love the sun. It feels so good on my skin coming through the window.
• The coffee smells so good in your cup. Can I have some of it?
• Mom, can we stop and use the bathroom? I’ve been holding it for two hours and I have to go right now. (in the middle of no where)

Appreciate your prayers during our trip!
