We drove through the rockies past Vail and Copper Mountain, and then over the plains of Kansas and through the lush valleys of Missouri and finally into Kentucky. It's difficult to describe the effect of seeing such ample and varied beauty. Even our children appreciate what they've been blessed to see. All of them have exclaimed, "Wow," more than once as they're confronted with some new landscape. It is awe inspiring to see so much over so little time.
Apart from the beauty, a little incident with car sickness, and Lucy's refusal to acknowledge the grandeur of the St. Louis Arch there's not much to report on. We made the trip in about 30 hours.
Our kids are like Lego pieces, but instead of moving them around a play set, we're moving them around the country and inserting them into all kinds of different families, and, like those little plastic blocks, they fit wherever they're snapped into place. Within minutes of arriving, it was as if they knew the Rowes their entire lives. They've gotten very good at finding common ground very quickly. Nintendo has proven to be a great starting point, Webkinz too.
