Admittedly, we don’t take as many trips as I wish we did. Mainly because I struggle wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze??? I’m a homebody through and through. But I WANT TO TRAVEL. And then when it comes down to it, it feels like such a hassle, and I think it won’t even be that fun? I see other families traveling to epic places, with multiple kids, and I forget that all that’s being shared are the highlights.
So that’s what I’m sharing here - the highlights of a s**t show little birthday trip that was well worth the hassle. The “are we there yet” and “how much longer” every 45 seconds for the last hour of the car ride, the dog puking 2 times from being car sick on the way up the mountain, the metal debris all around the air bnb from the new roof they just got, the fire pit explosion as we roasted our first smores, the 2 hours of sleep we got on the first night, and the unexpected 7 hour thunder and rainstorm that was no where on the forecast….
Great memories were made, quality time was definitely had, bonds were strengthened, and we just had a lovely time together. It was short and sweet and just what we needed - to get away for a few days - for some uninterrupted family time.
And I actually brought and used my big girl camera!!!! Which I typically never do on trips because it also feels inconvenient!! 😆🙈💃🏻 I love these photos SO much.
