If you follow me on instagram, you may have seen some of these already. But I couldn't resist posting them here too. I feel like the instagram format works really well with road trip photos.
On our way to my parent's this weekend, we took a break from driving at the Iowa 80 Truckstop (world's largest!) If you're not fortunate enough to pass this place dozens of times a year like we do, know that it's the King of All Truck Stops. And we've come to appreciate it so much more now that we have a small boy traveling with us. It's a welcome respite from being cooped up in the car, and there are tons of interesting things for the kids to look at while stretching our legs. In the back there's a huge truck parts and accessories shop; it's fascinating.
Mike on the moving truck platform (it spins the truck around in a circle.) David was very concerned about this. "Daddy! Get off of there!"
Norah and I, reflected in the surfaces of various shiny truck parts.
There was a display of at least 50 steering wheels.
The boy. (I think this is my favorite shirt of his.)
That big white thing is the spoke of a wind turbine. They look crazy humongous when you see them up close.
On the way home, exhausted from the day of presents and running around like crazy with his cousins.
We had such a wonderful Christmas with our families. I'm holding it close for right now and don't want to write about it really, other than to say, I am so so blessed to have the family I do.
I hope you had a joyful Christmas too, friends.
I love the photos! Love Instagram, it's so addictive x
