Welcome, lovers of travel and beauty. If you enjoy natural splendor, humankind's masterpieces, and fellowship with good friends, you are sure to feel at home on my blog. I make no claims to worldwide travel, but I have been fortunate enough to travel across this gorgeous country of ours for 25 days with three other lady friends. One of my friends made us visors with "WOW Girls" printed across the top and announced that "WOW" stood for "Women from Wakefield" (our hometown); Women on a Walk; and Women of Wonder.
Our trip across country included stops at places that hold great historical significance; some were places that showcased nature's majesty; some were places that tugged at our heartstrings; and all of them combined in a life-changing experience for the four of us. We range in age from forty-something to sixty-something, we are all married with husbands and empty nests, and we planned and saved for this trip for one year. We also were on a "walk" for various reasons: one of us is a cancer survivor, one is dealing with the death of her father from ALS, one is living under the shadow of lupus, and I was and still am attempting to find joy and meaning in this life after the death of my beautiful 19 year old daughter in a car accident.
This blog will be both a journal of our physical trip as well as an emotional and spiritual journey that brought us closer to each other and our God as we traveled from sea to shining sea.
I hope you will join me as I take you across America with the WOW Girls.
