My family just had a two-day vacation at my husband’s aunt’s house. She called and told my husband she missed us all, and that she wanted to see our kids. It has been a few months since she last saw them. It was during one of the reunions in my husband’s side of the family. She is my husband’s favorite aunt, the one who took care of him like a mama when he was a kid. So we packed our bags and went on a road trip. She lived a few hours away from where we lived.
It has been so long since we had a road trip like that and it felt so good. My family and I were so happy that we were singing at the top of our lungs while we’re driving. Even the kids were singing along with us even though they didn’t know some of the songs.
My husband was a fan of pop rock songs. And I grew up listening to the music of the 80s and the 90s, so we almost have the same tastes in music. I am pretty sure our boys would be influenced by this soon.
When we arrived at his aunt’s house, she looked so happy that we were both glad we did our best to see her. We had a long catching up which we really enjoyed. She cooked us dinner and we had this most amazing vanilla bean cake that has a twist on it.
Family is really the most amazing thing in the world. And to share such a delicious dessert with them is nothing short of perfect.
