The road trip snacks (and some sensible food) have been purchased, the route planned out, the hotel chosen. The girls are excited, my husband's beside himself with excitement (he even bought himself a new wild road trip shirt, a tradition we established years ago) and I'm pleased but mostly consumed with making sure nothing's forgotten, the house is clean, and all batteries, literal and metaphorical, are charged.
So. Tea's made, dishwasher's going, camera and phone are charging, girls are happily reading and playing, and I'm off to the shed to go listen to birds, breathe in the smell of last night's rain, paint a bit, sing a bit, and then it's back inside to boss everyone around and make sure we leave the house smelling sweet and clean and ready to come home to.

We're off to see the redwoods tomorrow, and watch the sun set over the ocean.

Sounds good. Better than good.
Have a marvelous time!
We await some road-trip inspired art. Have fun.
We're back home again, richer in experience (and beach shells and pretty rocks and souvenirs and sand) though somewhat cash-poor, and probably will be eating macaroni and cheese until payday, but the trip was paid for in cash, not on credit, so we were pleased about that. The redwoods were magnificent, as was the ocean. I was happy to be on vacation and happy to come home, and a couple days later I'm still washing sand out of things. As soon as that's all done, I'll unload my camera and see if there's anything fit to post.
