Still Packing

Our little family is just about ready to take off on our cross country adventure. Kim and I have been talking about driving across the United States with the kids for several years and we have decided to take the plunge. Out total trip will take about 4 weeks, cover 6200 miles, travel through 17 states, 3 minor league games, visit assorted national parks and monuments and plenty of Guy's Fieri's diners, drive-ins and dives. We will be camping most of the time but we are lucky that we will be staying with family and friends along the way to break up the routine.

I started this blog because so many friends and family were curious about the trip and they wanted to see and hear the details. I will try very hard to update everyday and hopefully add pictures as we travel along. My original thought was that this was going to be something I would do but my wife now wants to add her two cents which should make for some interesting posts. We might even let the girls post their thoughts.

We have much to do today. Finish washing clothes, pack, get our camping gear in order and finish buy supplies. Our first stop is Williams, Arizona. We are camping and if time permits we might make a quick trip out to see the Grand Canyon. I heard its a big hole in the ground.

    Do it right and turn on your GPS on your cell phone....We'll all track you through google at your stops, wrong turns, and favorite POI's. Big brother has nothing on where we have gone as a society!!

  3. We are celebrating with you!! Have a blast! We're sending joy and HARMONY, extra but portable doses perfect for those small places over long hours. What a fantastic adventure!! Kimberly, don't forget the man who walked into a restaurant, ordered albatross, and killed himself with the butter knife!
