While away on vacation I learned a few important things:

1. What you see is not always what you get.. The hotel we stayed at in Lancaster - looked like a really nice place - online. Turns out it wasn't. The room was not at all what we thought it would be, there were problems with the several things in the room and frankly the staff wasn't exactly helpful.

It was a reminder to me to be careful about judging things by what I see or with only knowing part of the story.

2. " Daddy I flew over the sky". Two years ago we had a somewhat disastrous trip to Disney, in part because our youngest just couldn’t handle the rides. After that we figured we would never get her on a ride again. While on vacation her Mom and her went to Dutch Wonderland. They were there a half hour and my phone rang. My first thought was they were calling to come home, but imagine my surprise when I heard Becca say, " Daddy I flew over the sky".

They had a great time and it reminded me with patience and a lot of prayer all things truly are possible.
