I want to be that Mom. The one that her kids talk about and want to be more like. The one that her husband brags to his co-workers about. I want to be better.

We, the Bests, Dale, Linny and Caedmon, we LOVE roadtrips! But my, have they changed since we had kids!

We’re driving home from a long weekend in LA and San Diego. And Caedmons ready to get out of the car! I’ll postmore pictures and stories soon.
