We kept it simple and did the things we enjoy most. Spending quality time with wonderful friends and exploring this magnificent land.
No detailed itinerary for each days activities/stops. We just went with what the day brought. Every day was perfect.
In South Carolina the Cox family were exceptional hosts.
Thank you Cox family for such a joy filled and happy time with you.

"Look at what the girls did to the puppy!"
When I met this special lady I was in desperate need for a friendly smile. I just had my second child far away from family and felt alone (hubby had long Army hours). She came into my life like a beacon of light, saying you are not alone. I will never forget the loving kindness we shared during those difficult years of new motherhood round two. We continue to share a special friendship!
I love you!
That's us having a great time!
"I didn't know I wasn't suppose to play in the mud."
I can't tell you how big my heart would get to see our children playing together. Something that I thought I may not get to see because of distance.
The second part of our trip brought us to the serenity of Ohio.
Where the state motto is: "With God All Things Are Possible"
The morning mist throughout the State Park was pretty amazing.
We hiked 2 miles up and down paths, some were muddy and icy. The kids did great!
I love this image above. I could barely see them through the foggy mist when I took it.
Unfortunately this image doesn't capture how awe-inspiring it really felt to be there at that time.
But when I see it I can recall that moment, watching the mist surround them.
It's hard to tell from this image above how huge this cave is. If you look close at the center there are three black sticks spread apart, those are the steps that lead you up into the cave.
My oldest requested a silhouette picture she could take to school and show her art teacher.
The kids are great about asking to take a picture of me so that I can be in a few.
They are getting good at it.
There was only one couple hiking by when we were at this spot.
I am so glad I asked if they could take a picture of us.
Our one family image during this part of the journey.
It holds remarkable value for us. Thank you couple hiking!
The end of this beautiful journey. So many more to come!
