The first thing I think about when going anywhere?? Maybe there's a cache along the way! I mean, who doesn't think that as your either grabbing your coat or buckling up? I was once told I had an addictive personality. maybe I do. when I do something, I do it 100%....so yeah, Geocaching is ALWAYS in my head.
So. When Quincy got to ride with me on our way to Kamryn's London BBQ, I knew the perfect one to grab. I'd been driving past it for months. Just never taking the time to stop. Luckily, all of my grandkids are up for stopping for a cache with Nana. They all have their own accounts, and even though they don't do it as regularly as me, they are always eager! Its just kinda our thing I guess. So, we pull off the road, and since this is a P&G (park and grab), we find it rather quickly. Imagine our surprise when we open it up and find a dollar bill all rolled up nicely and tucked inside! Gotta smile about that! We tuck in a couple of coins, and sign the log and are soon back on our way. Even though this was a quick one, it's still pretty special. Not only because it ups my numbers by one more, but because I had one of my most special people doing it with me. All I want to do is spend time with these kids of my kids. They are growing up way too fast, and soon will be young women, and then... what if it isn't cool to hang with Nana? Or it's still cool, but they are too far away going to school or working? Sure there's social media, facetime, phones, all the ways to keep in touch. But, it's just not the same. So, I'll always think about grabbing a cache when I climb in my car. And if I have one of my grands with me, then that just makes the hunt more fun! It's just one more chance to share a smile, have an adventure and make a memory. After all, that's what it's all about. Right? Go grab a special person. Go find a cache. Make a memory. GO!
