Visiting Aunt KK

Beaumont, our second family road trip. A 4.5/5 hour drive south, south, south, into humidity, tall tall trees, and about a 15-degree temperature difference from home. Also, where Aunt KK lives. We ventured down to spend some time with beloved Aunt KK the weekend before Christmas. We needed to soak up some quality time since she would be staying home through the holidays, and we're glad we did, because the time we spent in Beaumont ended up being a great time, indeed.

Beaumont was a beautiful side-step from the seasonal hustle and bustle that had settled in our home, and though the short visit came and went in a blur, we were able to jump back in to our holiday preparations once home feeling recharged and much loved. Our family is such a blessing.
