The Blogging Begins

As we prepare for our upcoming adventure, we realize all the hurdles we must overcome... Who will take care of our house with our pets and plants? Are we insane? What should our itinerary include? Are we insane? What should we pack? Are we insane? What will Marcus do for work? Are we insane?
You get the jist of it. We are really looking forward to this time together as a family and the adventure of exploring this wonderful nation of ours. How lucky we feel to be able to do it. What a perfect time to do it as our children are not too old for such and adventure and not too young either! Yet we also know that there will be times when we do indeed think we were insane for embarking on this trip. A little extra bickering could just do the trick to send us over the edge. We hope to blog about our adventures in order to let you all know how we are doing and what we are seeing, and also as a keepsake for ourselves, a kind of travel journal to remind us of our roadtrip 2010!!

  1. I hope you keep it up. When I embarked on the trip to Michigan with 3 kids my mother gave me a set of 5 postcards. I was to mail one each night to let her know where we were. Of course, the mail took a couple of days to get to her so she was always out of date. No cell phones, no computers, no phone cards. The only way to make a long distance call was to plunk the right kind of change into a phone ina crungy, stinky phone booth.
    We look forward to sharing your adventure.
    I hope Derek keeps his going, too.
