Each trip we took was a unique family adventure and it was fascinating to observe the kids as they became older with each trip and how their perspectives matured as they saw more and more of the world in all its glory. We invite you to share in our experiences.

Hawaii & California (2003)
After three years, 15,000 road miles, several airplane trips and a lot of packing and unpacking, on June 28 of this year we landed in Hawaii — the 50th state we visited with the kids! The three year adventure was filled with a lifetime of memories and Hawaii is the perfect state to be the finish line for a quest such as this. The trip home brought us to California to visit friends.
