2022 has come and gone. Admittingly, I’m one of those people who feels differently when the year ends. I love the newness of a fresh planner and the quietness of January.

Over 20 hours in the car with two young kids? Were we crazy? Probably. But worth every minute? ABSOLUTELY! John and I planned a spontaneous 6-day trip while the girls were on vacation with their dad in Florida, with the destination of Virginia Beach, VA in mind.
