Travel makes me grateful and reflective but I need time to process all that discovery and restorative-ness.
This trip we traveled with our daughter, her husband, his parents and our grandchildren. Imagine.
There are stories to tell about French fries and puffer fish and a margarita stand, but mostly there was precious time to play with our favourite toddlers, 3 year-old M and 1 year-old L. And although there are many impressive photos of the beach and sunsets and an excursion to a tiny island and a burrito bigger than a birthday cake, I keep returning to pictures of my daughter with her children, and this one with her young son.
It's impossible to accurately describe the feeling of watching your children be parents to their own children: it's joy, it's pride, it's time-travel, it's nostalgia, it's laughter, it's longing, it's...peace...it's a fullness...(it's fleeting and forever) and I wish it for everyone.

"fleeting and forever" -- what an evocative phrase!
I would love to have that and I'm glad that you have it. You are blessed.
I have four wonderful grandies. And I have been watching them grow up. Sadly for me they all live some distance away now, so I don't see them as much as I would wish, but you are right, watching my sons become dads has been a marvellous experience. How lucky you are to enjoy a 3 generation holiday.
It's a good time of life for you to enjoy them when they are young and you are young enough. :)
