World's Largest

When I told friends and family about our roadtrip around the United States, many casually quipped, "You going to stop at the World's Largest Ball of Twine?". My guess is that this was rhetorical, but you know what, I took it as a challenge. To answer that question that no one truly asked me, "Yes, I did see the World' Largest Ball of Twine!" Not only that, we saw the World's Largest Art Easel, Pickled Egg, Belt Buckle, Czech Egg and Travel Plate. Did we drive an extra 45 minutes out of our way to see these items? The answer is yes, but if Loren asks, it was only like maybe 10 minutes more. 

The truth is that Kansas is kind of boring. I'm sorry to everyone who lives in Kansas and finds it exhilarating. I would love to be wrong and come back to see all the things that are exciting. So please, prove me wrong and ROADTRIP! But here's the deal, we needed to drive through Kansas to get back. How does one turn a 4 hour drive across corn fields into fun? Well, turn it into a scavenger hunt of finding the World's Largest along with a museum that has the World's Largest collection of the World's Smallest Versions of the World's Largest Things. Sounds confusing, but makes sense when you're there. 

And now, I can't wait to surprise Loren with the news that we will be going tomorrow to Casey, Illinois which is the town filled with the largest collection of the World's Largest Things. What could be more fun? Don't answer that.

If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

When your most vivid memories are of the blurry view out the window, it's time to slow down. I am grateful for phone picture reminders, but I also know when I'm pushing my family too hard. It was becoming more about the destination and not the journey. Within a week, we had traveled to so many national parks that even the rangers gave us the big eyed look of skepticism. The truth is that a drive-thru, visitor center stop and mini hike weren't filling our buckets. It became more about the race to fill in the junior ranger booklet rather than enjoying the spectacular views all around us. We hopped from Badlands to Crazy Horse to Mt. Rushmore to Devil's Tower to Yellowstone and to the Grand Tetons within a week. What we needed was some clarity and pause.  The flexibility of never knowing where tomorrow was going to bring us became more stressful than relaxing. Yes, we could fit one more place in, but was it worth it? After the Grand Tetons, we decided to have some mini vac...

Awe

Image
As children, the world around us fills our hearts with wonder. Wow, a moving car! Wow, a phone! Wow, ice cream! As we get older, our sense of wonder slowly disappears as we become more jaded and worn down from reality. It's a feeling that often nags me as I grieve that lost sense of magical joy that used to easily come. The synchronous fireflies of the Smoky Mountains reignited my sense of wonder. I know it's cliche to say words just can't describe this, but truly, words just can't describe what we saw. The closest thing in the moment that I could think of was having a front row seat to the world's tiniest fairy rave within a forest. In an instant, tiny bright lights would surround you, then a moment later, pure darkness. Then repeat. It was awe in its purest form.  Have we done other things? Of course, but also, it's hard to compare. Did I try Dude Eggs? Yes, they are gross. Did I try pickled peeps? Yes, they are also gross. Did I see the hole to hell? Yes, it...

Oh Canada, I Don't Understand You

Image
I do not understand Canada. Despite this large country sharing a seat with us on the Americas bench, it still feels like a foreign mystery for me to visit. 1. Why is the currency named like cartoon characters? Loonies and Toonies? I don't understand. 2. Why is it Saskatchewan and not Saskatchewa? It feels like adding the n turns it into an adjective and not a noun. The grammar rules in my head are rage fighting right now. 3. The potato chip blends just break the mind. Doritos and Lay's are two separate entities, not one. This duo never needed to be a couple. The world doesn't need another Kimye. 4. Blueberries and sausage are not a pleasant looking combo. The raw links look like bruised doll legs. 5. What is Peavey Mart? I mean really, did they not just straight giggle when naming this mini mart? 6. They love pun named stores. I fully am behind this. 7. They have food brands for what will happen if you eat too much. For example, "FATSO" peanut butter. Say it like ...
