'Most Boring Day" Oliver

Drove through Kansas to Topeeka Just some rest stops along the way. Pretty flat for sure but saw lots of horses and even buffalo. We live in such a beautiful country 🥰
TravelerMade it through a lot of “Greenlights” by Mathew McConaughey on this stretch. Toward the end of the day, I noticed Oliver had captured a bunch of takeaways that he felt had meaning and it was inspiring to see, and even more fun as he shared some. Very inspired and excited to see him grow and mature.
We’re not in Kansas anymore.
