This month we went on an epic road trip!
The ultimate destination of our trip was our beloved "MBR" ("multi baby reunion) with Seth's college friends and their wives and children. Over the last ten years that we have done this we've alternated destinations and this year's planned destination was Colorado! Of course, originally the trip was to be in May, but we tried again and actually made it happen this month!
We got special permission from the transplant team to go and we planned our route carefully to try to be as cautious as possible. For the most part it was easy - we were outside! Camping! Already, inherently, socially distanced from people! But certainly we were around more people overall than we have been pre-pandemic.
I was particularly concerned about medical care, as usual when we've traveled more than an hour or two away from Seattle. I had nightmares that we'd get "stuck" at an inadequate country hospital and need a life flight... Certainly hindsight is 20/20 and I'm probably only saying this because so little went wrong on the trip, buuutttttt I'm so glad we went.
I really think this was my very favorite thing I've ever done. We saw so many natural wonders and had such a lovely time together, just the five of us. But it was so lifegiving to see our friends and to see Seth's brother and wife and nieces.
