We are home!
- 33 days
- 12,153 km
- 21 States

It truly was the adventure of a lifetime and we can’t wait for our next road trip. But we’re happy to be home. We were a little tired of the heat and humidity, but not quite prepared for the 12 degrees and rain that greeted us at home.

Speech therapy is back in full force!
Stay tuned for some new and exciting news!

06/27/2025

Well, I promised updates! Here we are two weeks in already and I’m finally doing an update. We’ve covered a lot of ground and are having the BEST time. I think we’ve hit 12 states so far. Some highlights:
- Saw lots of rocks in Utah and hiked in 40 degree weather.
- Painted Cadillacs at Sunrise in Texas
- Saw big rockets in Houston
- Swam with baby otters in Louisiana
- Had amazing beach time (with incredibly warm water) in Florida.
We are currently on Georgia and there are still so many amazing things in the schedule. Everywhere we’ve been, they’ve been experiencing a heat wave. This has been less than ideal. Here’s hoping for milder temperatures for the next two weeks!
