Jet lag… Oh dear jet lag, please get with the program.
It is 5am on the lovely West side of the US of A but my body is still set to the East side, which is making catching zzz’s and resting up before the work day darn near impossible.
Oh well, guess we’ll try again tomorrow. In the mean time, lets take a peek at our trip to the always beautiful land of our forefathers. Quinn and I packed up and headed back to my Grandmother’s farm for a week of good old country exploring, adventures, beauty and rest.
One of the best things about Grandma’s farm is how remote it is. I had to stand in the corner of the bedroom, on one leg, while crossing my eyes and holding my breathe just to get one bar of cell phone service. Just enough service to hear the bing of incoming emails and receive the tidal wave of text messages from the hubs saying things like ‘I miss you’ and ‘I hope you’re having fun’. And the occasional message from work ‘hey, where did you put that file…?’ -from 3 hours before. Well, if you haven’t found it by now…
If ever a super traveler there was, this kid takes the cake. 7 hours of flying and he was simply a gem the entire time. The iPad and bag of M&M’s weren’t a bad idea either…
This farm is such a breath of fresh air. The house my grandfather built, the spa he built for grandma, the old grill and grape vines, the beautiful field, the laundry line and garage. We just loved taking it all in.
I made sure to point out every bug, including the spiders, and show Quinn how ‘cool’ they are were. Even though my city girl brain is saying ‘kill the spider!!!’ I wanted him to form his own opinions about such things so I held my tongue and simply made sure he knew what all the types of bugs were. As any boy should, he found them all to be super ‘cool’ and eventually tried to smash them all, with his bare hands.
What a guy! 
That’s all the time we have today. Come back later for some more of our Virginia adventures!
just love,
