I had an amazing trip. We left on the 12th of July headed to Kansas. Kids have things to keep them busy, I have plenty of snacks on hand. I had no idea how great our country really is.

We made it to Kansas, to Arkansas and back to NYC in one week and a day.

We past so many hills, valleys, mountains and farms. All breathtaking. I wondered if the people who are fortunate to live all the nice places I saw really appreciated the beauty there? The fresh air kept me awake the entire time. My husband drove, and my 10 yr old commented many times on all the corn she saw, that was many many times,lol.

Entering Arkansas, we stopped for gas and when hubby got out the car he was comical as he swat away countless bugs chasing him. There were people in the next gas stall, puzzled, looking at him, I guess the bugs dont "bug" em. lol

Me the NYer I am freaked out BIG time as wen entered Arkansas when it was pitch black and we were the only ones on the road, one with many mountains, swarms of bugs. I just couldnt take it not being able to see the road ahead, the darkness numbed me with fear. We spent that night in a hotel. ( thank you hubby I LOVE YOU ) 

I can truly say after this trip, never have I ever felt so close to god as I was at this time.

Hot Springs Arkansas was amazing, the hot water made my skin baby soft, I put some on my face hoping it had youthful benifits, lol.

We encountered time after time countless pure good people. We met up in Illinois with my sis on law, and when her car broke down, the nicest couple stopped to help out, after the problem was solved, they would not take the money we offered them. They asked that we just get to our destination safely. Our skin had no color, our voice's had no label. People smiled and said hello everywhere we went. This took some time to get used to, ok, not long..lol. But such an exquisite feeling. Good hearted Americans.

I know I left out dozens of things, but I have to unpack !
