I See Trees

I figured it was time to post October and November layouts. This was for
AMM DT call.

Journaling Reads:
Muir Woods is my sanctuary.

The first time your Daddy and I visited Muir Woods, I was writing
novels. We were in town for a wedding and your dad drove me to the park
as part of our two-day sightseeing. I fell in love with the park
immediately. I was so enamored with the magnanimity of nature that I sat
there in awe for quite some time. I told Daddy that I could sit in these
woods and write all day and all night. I decided we needed to move to
San Francisco just so I could visit this place regularly.

Sadly, since we’ve moved to the Bay Area, we hadn’t visited Muir Woods
once until two weeks ago, when your grandpa came to visit. I was whiny
all the way up to the park and wished I had decided to stay home and
scrap. But the moment we walked in, you screamed:

“I see trees!”

And I knew I was doing something much better than scrapbooking: I was
living one of those moments that I work hard to capture on my scrapbook
pages. For the next hour, we walked along the magical pathways of Muir
Woods, and you ran around and explored everything. You looked at the
bugs. You watched the water. You kept pointing out animals. Your
enthusiasm was contagious.

I am so glad to know that a place that brings me so much peace brought
you an equal amount of joy. I promise you, my little boy, there are many
more Muir Woods trips in our future.
