552. Summer road trips. Ava, Kate and I packed up the mini van and headed East to Washington D.C. to visit Kacy & Mike. Long solo drive but I had my coffee and music and the girls had headphones and iphones and they did awesome. It was a beautiful day for a drive through rolling farm fields, mountains and cities. My parents always took us on trips East growing up and so the drive brought back great memories. I love long drives, slowing down to think and be thankful while taking in beautiful scenery. Grateful. 532. Mike & Kacy. They opened up their beautiful home to us, showed us their beautiful city and we absolutely loved, loved, loved our time with them. I am so thankful to have these two in my family. So dynamic, loving, artistic, caring, kind, smart, down to earth, fun people - they are great to say the very least. When we got there they fed us and we ventured on a short walk from their house to the Capitol building. It was beautiful and peaceful at night.
