We have had a couple of really great trips. I would say hands down when we road trip as a family, my heart is the fullest. There were great things about so many of them...I'll hit a few highlights, again in no particular order...
Summer 2013...We went to KS, CO, SD, and WY. We started in Kearney to pick up Grandma Cindy and headed to Kansas to visit the graves of Steve's grandparents. We then headed to Colorado Springs. We spread my sister's ashes at Pikes Peak and went onto WY and SD. We saw Mt. Rushmore, Wind Cave, Needles Highway...2 cars, 6 kids, 3 adults. We camped a few nights and stayed in a couple of hotels.
Breckenridge 2012...The Carson Family Vacation. Grandma and Grandpa Carson rented a house and there were 17 of us total (unless I forgot someone). We went horseback riding, white water rafting, saw Mt. Evans, pontoon boat, and a water park...lots of good food, great scenery, good memories. Rythm turned 16 on that trip.
Spring break 2015...New York City! We saw Niagra Falls, the birth place of Michael Jackson, the Statue of Liberty, Hershey PA, the 9-11 Museum and Memorial. We took a night bus tour of NYC and a terrifying traffic jam in Brooklyn. We crossed so many states we lost count but had a great time and made more wonderful memories. We stayed at a super nasty hotel and we stayed at a nice one in NJ. We also ate at a fun little resteraunt in NJ that was probably a front for the mafia.
Las Vegas...Steve and I left the kids with grandma Cindy and grandma Nessa and spent 4 fantastic days in Vegas. We saw Hoover Dam, a Cirque du Soleil, Fremont St. We took a couple of sketchy late night bus rides from Fremont Street to the strip, saw a show, ate some amazing food, and all the lights!
Mexico...This was the most recent. Steve and I finally got a stamp in our passport and spent some time in Cancun. It was beautiful and a much needed trip for both of us to connect. A pool right outside our room, a day to Chichen itza. The highway and drving were scary, the food was fabulous.
I am truly blessed. We have had countless trips to Florida to pick up and drop-off Tai. We've been to waterparks and theme parks in Arkansas and Branson. We had a great cabin trip to Worlds of Fun with the kids. WOW! I need to pull this list out and read it more often when it seems like all we do is work and run kids around...we've had some great adventures.
