186. A Crazy Travel Story

Published: Nov. 15, 2022, 1 p.m.

We took a super quick 28-hour trip to Wilkes-Barre, PA for my friend Jamie\u2019s mom\u2019s funeral a few weeks ago. If you follow me on\xa0Instagram, you\u2019ve heard parts of our crazy travel experience, but since it sparked so many conversations and messages online, I thought we should share the whole thing together in this week's podcast episode!\xa0(See more pictures from our trip here.)

A few takeaways from our trip:

::We never got the opportunity to meet Jamie\u2019s mom, but it was so special to hear family and friends share about how she impacted their lives. It was such a reminder to invest our lives in what matters and to not take any relationship for granted.

::Be sure to double check dates before booking flights. Ahem. Also, double-check the address to your hotel. And finally, double-check that you have your photo ID. Listen to the episode for more details on all that. \U0001f642

::Flying with a two-year-old is never boring. Kierstyn and Micah both did well on the flights and the two-hour drive from Philly to Wilkes-Barre and back, but K was quite confident in her navigational skills at the airport and we quickly learned we needed to push her in the stroller lest she dart ahead of us and get lost in a crowd! Also: I have no idea how parents travel by themselves with a toddler and a baby. We felt like we were barely pulling it off and there were two adults!

::Wilkes-Barre is not pronounced like I expected. But the locals can\u2019t seem to agree on the correct pronunciation.

::It was our first time for both of us to leave D. We missed him so much and can\u2019t wait until he\u2019s adopted and we don\u2019t have to have prior written approval from DCS for him to travel! But our older three kids did an amazing job watching him.

In this episode, we also have an adoption update to share, I talk about a book I\u2019m super excited about, and we laugh about recent antics of our toddlers.
