Maybe just Maybe while we travel and spend time on vacation I can catch up on blogging:):) We are traveling west!!!! still cant believe we are doing this!! For the past 5 years we have been trying to plan a trip out to visit my Brother in Montana and since we all ready did it in the winter time we wanted to do it in the summer, but since thats my hubbys busy time it looked impossible, so originally when the siblings decided to do the Montana half marathon we thought just the husband And i would fly out for a few days, Then Our super kind neighbor offered us his Rv and said take it,go have fun!! So as we thought about it it still looked huge, 5 little ones lots of traveling time off work, but things worked out and here we are touring the west, we do not have a plan we are just going!!! our plan was to drive the first 24 hours and stop and get a camp site for a few days then drive the rest of the way, but already that has changed,:) traveling is going better then expected so we decided to do a little site seeing on the way out.
DAY #1
we left our home 12:00 tuesday june 30th, we ate lunch and the kids settled in to watch a movie, hubby driving and I just getting settled in, I joined the children in a movie and then we all took a nap. made lasagna, salad, garlic bread, carrots for supper, hubby still driving, the boys do not mind there carseats so far and its nice to have a place to put them. we do have nice big windows so they get to see around. I took over the wheel at 8:30 and our plan was to drive a tank of gas which was every 7 hours. didnt have the nicest roads yet lots of construction and trucks.. sam got the kiddos ready for bed and tucked them in around 9:30.. then he tried to sleep I think he got a least an hour till we hit Chicago, so he helped me get through that.. but midnight driving through chicago was great!! with my love by my side the littles asleep..:):):) He did take over the wheel again since I didnt feel comfortable driving through all that traffic. the boys woke up around 1:30 and did not want to sleep so i put them in there carseats and went back to bed. they fell asleep in there and slept till 6:30. sam pulled over around 3:30 and we all slept till 6:30.... I got behind the wheel again, sam relaxed,..
DAY # 2.....
we started looking for campsites and i did the girls and I did hair and painted toenails. Got to our campsite around 1:00. mission accomplished 24 hours of driving over half way!!! settled in and had corn dogs and rootbeer floats for lunch.
