This summer was changed from its original blueprint. Instead of heading back east at the end of July with my family and my mom, I was tied up in Utah helping my dad with some stuff. Now that everything has been partially tackled, my Dad is in his new place, and his health seems to be getting good, I have ants in my pants! I want to go adventure! (Yes — adventure is strictly a verb in this family!)
I have had an idea in my mind for a few years that I want to tackle. And although this wasn’t on my radar for this summer…I figured — The is no time like the present!!!
So I woke my kids up this morning.
I told them that we needed to be back in Dana Point for school by the 16th.
We packed up and drove to the bookstore.
I bought a map of the western United States and taught them all how to read it.
I said we are going on a “Choose Your Own Adventure” trip…and they got to choose everything!
There was one caveat….
They weren’t allowed to look anything up! They were only allowed to figure out where to go and what to do…..by asking the locals!
And with excitement running through our veins…we are heading north!
