We have officially begun our vacation!!!
We headed out Friday and made our way to my sweet sister's house. We spent the 4th over at her neighbors' with my sister, her husband, and her little munchkins. We ate some yummy food, had some great fellowship, and then when it got dark we attempted to watch some fireworks, but alas Ruthie wigged and Kane was a bundle of crankiness so we took our kiddos over to my sister's and put them to bed.
We woke up early this morning and packed up and hit the road officially for our big family adventure! My plan is to post everyday with the events of that day and some fun pictures. We will be on the road for 35 days so I think it will be fun to see how things pan out!
Tonight we will be staying in Kansas and tomorrow we will be making our way into Colorado. 12 states in one month can you believe it?!!! I'm really excited but at the same time really nervous. We will be camping a few nigths, staying in some hotels, and staying with some family out in California. Mountains, the ocean, the flat plains...we might just see it all along the way!
I also plan to keep up with my working out. I brought some weights with me and I have to keep up with my running because me and my friends are running in our first 5k 2 days after we get back! The hubs has thankfully promised to run with me and he has already made good on that promise!
Well, don't forget to come back tomorrow for some FMM, and to see some great photos from Vacation '09!
