Almost there...

We are at the half way point of a two-day drive.

Day 1 involved:

our usual start-of-the-trip tension,

horrific thunderstorms,

a "check engine" light scare,

a sweet visit with a loved friend and her family,

lots of nuts and Legos spilled all over the car,

spectacular sunsets,

singing worship songs in the dark,

and a very sleepy little guy giving his daddy a kiss on his head

as he carried him into our hotel room.

Day 2 will hopefully involve:

lots more time spent with two people I love so much,

checking out parts of Route 66 I have never seen,

lots of hugs when we see family,

and even meeting this precious little one

for the very first time.
