We got the go ahead this weekend during our week off from Chemo to take a trip up North! Thank you to Nancy and Fred Tregaskes for letting us use your place up in Prescott last minute. Our senses were in extreme overload the entire time and all of us slept better than we have in months. We felt like a normal family for a bit!

Liam wondered the woods in the back with Daddy and I read a book while sissy slept. It reminded me of a time before cancer took over all of our lives and when we could just exist with no worries. Morgan wanted to explore, play, and use her new found energy to make the most of it.

On the way up, we stopped at our favorite winery and where Liam took his first steps many moons ago: Page Spring Winery. Daddy drove so Mama could relax with a few tastings.

We also got to visit our favorite Mayer residents: Jason, Jessica and Char LaGreca and they allowed us to play fire truck! The kids were grumpy as hell because we woke them up but Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the hell out of it. Thank you guys so much for breaking up our road trip and it was so great to see you!

All in all, it was exactly what this family needed! Now on to start Cycle 2!
