So I’ve come to realize that my story won’t ever be told in full! After leaving the camera behind in Tacoma and shortly after it arrived home my iPod decided to take a dive for the worse. It lost all of it’s memory, leaving behind all my notes of our trip except for the first 2 days of me writing on paper.

She would’ve had everything packed or almost packed 1 week prior. I haven’t even lifted a finger and reality I had zero desire to even pick up a suitcase to fill. My dear husband drove out to pick up a coffee for me to give me some more motivation. It wasn’t overly successful, but not totally unsuccessful either. I managed to get 3/4 kids suitcases going. Of course I allow the 3 older ones to start their own packing and I see what they put in there….So...
