Adventure

Adventure can be so exciting and fun.  But no one talks about the down side of exits that don't exist, areas of a strange city that are down right scary, and other misadventures.  Tiredness and building anxiety can really take the edge off.  However, in the end, I believe it is worth it.  My traveling companions are awesome and I am learning the joy of not being the boss on the trip.  I am thankful to be able to visit our daughter that lives far away.  I am thankful that so far we arrived safely at each destination.  I also learn new definitions like "hold still" to a toddler is to jump up and down in one place.  Shades of Star Trek trying to confuse 1.
