Summer is here. It is time for vacations. When the boys were young we couldn't afford big vacations so we did several Iowa vacations or day trips. It was good family time and we made memories. But the one big family vacation we took was to Washington D.C.
We flew into D.C. where we saw all the beautiful monuments, toured several of the Smithsonian museums and were amazed at the size and beauty of the Capitol building. It was amazing but so much as been added since we were there that we should go back.
From D.C. we drove to New York state where we visited my aunt before driving north to Buffalo where my Jordanian brother and his family lived. They took us to see Niagara Falls which was an amazing day. The main reason we took the trip, according to our boys, was to attend a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game! They were Brent's favorite team. We went one evening and watched something like 16 innings into the wee hours of the morning. Then flew home the next day. It was a wonderful trip spanning 10 days.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go," (Joshua 1:9 NIV).
May you be blessed by a summer vacation and the memories you made or will make, or by a stay-cation at home.
