The Adventure Pants

Hello all!

I'm assuming you're here because you'd like to know more about my looming travel to the UK. However, I'm going to start off with why I decided to call my blog what it is.

My wonderful mother's version of the tale can be found here.

What I recall is, as a kid sometime in elementary school, I had a pair of amazing overalls. They weren't just your average everyday jean overalls, but they were tan. That's special in and of itself! But every single time I wore those I had an adventure. Okay that's not entirely true, but I made anything that happened that day out to be an adventure. Very quickly they became the "adventure pants."  If I was anticipating a good day, or I wanted it to be a good day, I wore those overalls and it was a good day, epic adventure to Ms. Penny's farm or a good grade on a homework assignment, any of it was an adventure with the adventure pants on!

To this day, my siblings still talk about the adventure pants and give me a hard time about them. However I did love having a pair of adventure pants, because even if I was actually having a terrible day, I was in my adventure pants so something had to go right. You don't have a bad day in adventure pants.

So here goes nothing. In less than a week I'm going to put on my adventure pants, get on a plane and fly halfway around the world!

(Okay not halfway around the world, but it sounded better than just flying across the Atlantic Ocean.)
