So...
...we took ourselves on a little vacation. All the way to Indiana (and back). We were a little nervous about the 52+ hours we'd spend in the van over the course of two weeks, but our worries were completely unfounded. Our travel was safe and uneventful, we made great time, and the kids were champion travelers.
Good times were had by all.
We took a few random pictures, which you'll see here-- in no particular order (chronological or otherwise). Because I'm lazy like that.

wow. that's a lot of catch up. and i loved every minute. you took me to a little bit of blogging heaven. we've missed you! let's play this week...
So good to "hear" from you. My brothers and I used to go to that Children's Museum when we were kids with our cousins. It looks like they've added some very cool things since then. I think a good children's museum is something Provo needs!
We stayed in North Platte on our trek to Chicago last summer. Macy got to sleep on the floor just like that, too!
I bet the boys loved that train yard!
Glad you could have such a fun and safe trip.
