All this travel isn't always easy with two small boys, but we have begun to develop new 'normals.' We use home & hotel interchangeably, bed time seems to be an all family event at 8:30 or 9pm, and Caedmon expects all meals to be eaten with friends. Amidst the challenges of traveling with children, we have had the pleasure of reconnecting with so many friends. In Boston we saw a high school friend of mine (Erin) and met his lovely wife, and connected with a college friend of John's for a visit to the aquarium. New York and Philadelphia enabled seeing more of John's college friends. These times have been a joy and encouragement to us, making all the difficulties worth it! It has been a treat to see some of the sights along the way too, what history!
