We packed the car after dinner, got some shut eye (though, as always, not as much as we would have preferred), and began the 4th of July holiday in the car at 5am heading to Cape Cod.

Following our standard road trip protocol, we had stocked the backseat of the car with books, snacks, and writing utensils to help the kids pass the 9+ hour trip. After reading and snacking for a bit, Caleb proclaimed he wanted to write some haiku. Within a few minutes he had created an ode to his travel pillow and a gem about roses.

My travel pillow
is comfy and very soft
I use it on trips

A rose has petals
A rose is so beautiful
Please stop and smell it

And after the poetry recital, we took a few pictures of the artist and his cute little sister.
