Honk and Wave

We're on the road!  Our trek west begins today and we'll be driving for the lot of it.  Today will find us traveling through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado - en route to Utah, Idaho, Utah (again) and Nevada.  Here's a lovely rendition of our family in our two-tone 12-seater Ford van (compliments of Sadie-bug) so you'll recognize us on the road:


And here's how we look from the back:


Honk and wave if you see us!  Jeff figured out a rough estimate of our round-trip mileage.  Of course this doesn't include all the places we'll go within each destination, but just traveling from place to place we've got 4,347 miles of fun ahead of us.  (Translation: 72 hours in the van.  Fortunately, not all in a row...)  Wish us luck!

Happy traveling! We'll probably be leaving as you return. I'm doing it solo for my first time this year. Six kids and one mom. Not good odds!
