Gratitude Journal Day 28 - Making Travel Plans

Today, I am grateful for making travel plans for this summer!

I know where I am going but I do not know how I am going to get there or how long it will take. 

I am planning on taking my son to Idaho to see my sister's family. I am planning on going to South Dakota to see my parents and sisters and brother and their families. I do know I want to see the beautiful land that I see in pictures and videos and it gets me excited that my son will be able to experience these places with me. My girls have to go to their dads in South Dakota so they will have to fly to be able to have that time with him and his family. 

I have tentatively started to have conversations with people about what there is to visit and experience throughout the west coast on my way to Idaho. I do not just want to get on the interstate and fly by all this beauty.

The destination is not the journey. I want to be present and soak it all in.

Oh, and this will not be expensive or I guess a better way to say it is that I will do my best to make this as cheap as possible. Tenting. Filling a cooler with food. Eating clean. Hiking. Free activities. Fishing.

I cannot wait to see what this looks like.
