How do you wrap up a trip like this. I could go on and on about how great each day was, but I really already have in the narrative. I could recap the amazing things we saw and did, but that is covered as well. The biggest takeaways from the trip, in my mind, are the connections made with family.

I was truly blessed to be able to take this trip and have time with my wife and boys uninterrupted with the daily troubles of work and business. As I write this, Owen is preparing to go off to Cal Poly Humboldt in the fall, and Tavis is starting High School. There is no telling whether or not we will all get another trip like this as a family. The next one maybe right around the corner or down the road with even more family to share it with. Whatever happens, this trip is in the past, but my hope is that this diary will keep it alive in all our memories for the rest of our lives. Until next time, Gute Reise und auf weidersehen!

Liebe, Scott
