I am not sure if I was born with it but my life is driven by a large amount of wanderlust. I love to explore and travel. The real blessing is that I married a man with a lot of it too. We have raised our kids with this lifestyle. They both took their first road trip at 4 weeks old.
At times our exploration is busier than
others but we are always thinking of the next adventure. It fills us with excitement, anticipation and wonder of what new experiences it will hold.
We make sacrifices to travel and explore, but I would not have any amount of riches in exchange. I strongly believe these experiences enrich our lives in ways that are far greater than anything money could buy.
As we traveled miles of trails among the fall
beauty of New England this weekend, I was reminded of how perfect our family is when among nature. The kids who often bicker were chatting, playing games and the best of friends. My wonderful husband took in all the leaves, views, trees and surroundings. He appreciates the beauty of nature as much or more than me. He often
gets my attention to take in the way the sun rays are coming through the trees or a view that is too good to miss. One of the many reasons I adore him.
Our lives are often filled with arguments about homework, finances, getting ready for the day and other daily stresses. However, this weekend was a blissful reminder of the reasons I love Kent and the family we have created together.
My hope is that everyone has these times together with those they love. Daily lives get so busy and sometimes stressful. Always remember to take time to find your family's happy place. I can't wait for the next time we will visit ours.
