Family trips
Each year we take one or two special trips to a new place to expand our understanding of different cultures and lifestyles. I take joy in seeing the my children reaping the benefits of having the privilege to explore and see new things and places. One of my favorite recent trips, would be to The LInville Caverns. Great place to go underground and see the water and rock formations, and to hear about the old war history.
