Road Blogging

Good morning from the road!  We are two and a half hours in to our 3 1/2 week long road trip and about to enter Iowa.  Thankfully I was able to convince Seth that blogging from the road would give me something to do and save me a a whole lot of catching up when we got home so he got me the keyboard attachment for the tablet and a wifi hot spot. So hopefully this works out and I will be able to load pictures and have the whole trip documented by the time we get home. 

So far nothing to report, but the kids are behaving so we are off to a good start.  They get a quarter for every hour of good behavior so hopefully that works for awhile.  We also have lots of fun stuff to do including 8 hours of Harry Potter book one on CD.

We are all so excited to get to Wyoming and Utah and California and South Dakota to hang out with people we love.  Seth hopes to make it all the way to Green River, WY today, just under 1300 miles from our front door.  I am personally hoping to stop a little sooner than that since I only slept for an hour and a half before we hit the road but since I don't drive I will follow Seth's lead.

Alright that is all I have for now.  I just wanted to play with my new toy for a minute.  Oh, and if you were thinking of vandalizing my house while I am away, don't bother.  Our friends are staying there.  They just bought a new house and will close in a few weeks but their lease is up in their old place so it worked perfectly to have them stay at our house.  

Be back when I have more to say...probably next Thursday when we are on our way out of Utah and on to California.

What fun! <--- The trip AND the blogging along. :) I can't wait for pictures!

Way cool! Now that's the jetsetting way to blog. Now speaking of your trip, we haven't heard from you yet about whether we'll be seeing you. Any plans still to come through South Dakota. Mike still wants us to go out to the Black Hills/Mount Rushmore, but it may not coincide with when you guys are heading home. Let us know.

Val said...

Yay...so excited to see you guys!

That is rad that you are listening to Potter on tape. I am getting the HP Scene It DVD game for us all to play in Balby.

Jen, Seth talked to Mike yesterday and worked it all out so we will see you soon! I think we are just coming to the farm though. Ever since Mike came over and showed the kids farm pics they have been dying to see it.

Val, HP scene it is a great idea. Even my kids can probably play along. Now I wish I'd brought all my HP dvd's for the road. As I am typing this we are listening to the CD and Harry is at Olivander's.

My pad and I are not on speaking terms. It kept throwing tantrums while we were on vacation - probably something to do with not having access to anything remotely like a mobile hot spot.

So now I'm scrambling trying to catch up. But the photos from our trip may have to wait. We've got a lot of things going on this week, Dan's in town (thank you very much!) and there is that reunion on Saturday with some very awesome nieces and nephews....can't wait to see you all. Stay safe!

Mike told me last night of the plans. I kind of figured your time would be limited since you are traveling all the way. We are so looking forward to finally having you see the farm. Can't wait!

Julie, Glad to hear that Dan made it out. My kids were just asking if he would be there on Saturday. I am excited to see all of you and my kids are excited to meet some cousins they have only seen on blogs.
