Well. This was unexpected.
A very last minute travel opportunity came up and we decided to say yes to it! The last time we were on a plane was in January of 2020, right before the pandemic shut everything down. It feels weird to be traveling on a plane again, and especially weird to be away from the kids, but it’s a super short trip and we’ll be home by tomorrow night.
The funny thing is that the last trip we took before everything came to a screeching halt was to Utah and now, our first trip in forever is also to Utah! I almost forgot how beautiful Utah is, with the looming mountains hovering over us everywhere we look. It’s a magical, if not a little mysterious, place.
We miss the kids pretty bad, but we keep telling ourselves it’s good to get a break every now and then, especially after over a year and a half of being together every day. We will see them tomorrow night when we get home and when we do, we plan to give them the biggest, squishiest hugs ever.
