Doug hired a limo on our wedding day to transport

Doug hired a limo on our wedding day to transport us on from the church to our hotel — a limo that maintained a strict “no shoe polish policy.” So I’ve been making up for that unmarked car ride ever since. Ha! #happilyeverafter #weddinganniversary #thehoneymoonstillisntover #35years #everydaywithyoudearissweeterthanthedaybefore

Do you see those black clouds rolling in? No soone

Do you see those black clouds rolling in? No sooner did we get checked into our hotel and suited up to swim than they closed down the attached water park due to the impending storm. #badtiming Fortunately, the sun was back out early the following morning, and we enjoyed some very short lines to some very long slides for several hours before time to check out. We had a wonderful time there, but when we later heard our kids recounting their favorite parts of our trip, that water park hotel didn’t even make the list. Do you know what did? Playing Marco Polo with Mom and Dad at another hotel’s small indoor pool. We couldn’t have spent more than a half hour playing, but it paid big dividends in terms of good memories and grateful hearts. Which just goes to show that the time parents invest with their children trumps the money they spend on them every time. That’s because, deep down, kids don’t want stuff. They want attention. They don’t need more of your paycheck. They need more of you. #flandersfamilytravels #familyfun #homeschoollife #timetogether

We’re all heading to a homeschool dance tonight, and Abby’s feeling a little like Millie out of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. (Here’s hoping the evening doesn’t end in a fist fight. Ha!) #ohitsetsyoursensesinaswirl

The most economical souvenirs we’ve ever collect

The most economical souvenirs we’ve ever collected on our travels are also some of my children’s favorites: #juniorranger badges and/or patches from the #nationalparks we visit. Nearly every Park has one. The booklets/activities the kids must complete to earn their badges are usually free and very educational, too! Abby ended up earning nine new badges on this trip (not pictured: the one she got in Gettysburg). #flandersfamilytravels #roadtrip #homeschoolfieldtrip

We spent a day at George Washington’s Mount Vernon, too, but my phone ran out of battery before we got to the property’s magnificent museum. #flandersfamilytravels

We toured Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and were delighted by the character actor’s knowledge of all things Jefferson-related. Obviously a huge history buff! #flandersfamilytravels #ushistory

Three cheers for my boys and their keen puzzle-sol

Three cheers for my boys and their keen puzzle-solving skills for figuring out how to stuff luggage for six people, plus assorted souvenirs, colonial costumes, pillows, and snacks for the road, into very limited space in the back of our Armada. And repacking it again and again, without complaint, every time we leave one city and drive to the next. #whatwouldwedowithoutthem #roadtrip #flandersfamilytravels

Gettysburg is so full of history — even the hotels have a long and rich backstory. When this one was first built in 1896, it served as a high school. One of the US flags to which its students pledged their allegiance every morning now hangs in the upstairs foyer of the hotel. #federalpointeinn #oldglory #gettysburg #pennsylvania #fourscoreandsevenyearsago
