Duh! Why didn't I think of that?

Hubby and I finished watching the National Parks documentary by Ken Burns. I absolutely recommend it. The amazing views of the various parks were breathtaking and made me want to pack my bags and go. The story was actually quite interesting considering all the passionate outdoor lovers, political squabbles, and those who's childhoods were impacted by parks. As I watched the documentary, I pointed out the places we had visited when I was a child and started sharing family stories. It made me yearn to share the experience with other people, especially to make an impact on a child.

I realized my nieces may never get the opportunity to experience these types of family trips, yet I send N postcards when I travel, in an effort to entice her to want to see the world. Why don't I show her the world myself? Why couldn't I dedicate one week a summer to show my nieces that there is this wondrous world out there, full of scenery, culture, and history.

So it's a plan. Maybe not this year, since things are so confusing right now, but definitely a plan for next year.
