Finding A Balance
Life was full of good times over the summer! The kids had camps, day trips, and time with friends and family! Our time with our exchange student from Hong Kong was special too. After two summers she has truly become part of our family!
One of the highlights was an ambitious trip to the U.K. to visit family. What were we thinking when we decided to take three kids to the UK? The first few days were tough getting adjusted to the time change, food differences, and sticker shock! We did four days in London with a lot of walking! More then my suburban kids are used to! But, we all settled in to a new routine of touring.
My husband and I kept an eye on our intentions! One intention was of course to enjoy our family who lives over there! The other was to instill adventure and excitement for travel in our kids. When the kid's said they loved learning about other cultures, we knew in the end we got everything we intended. I mentioned to my husband to keep this in mind when the credit card bill came in the mail!
It felt good when we got home to our creature comforts! We realized going beyond is an amazing experience and coming back to the bus stop can feel just as good! So somewhere find balance in your life between the bus stop and going beyond it! Oh, what a ride it can be!
