T-minus 12 Hours to Liftoff...

August 14, 2007 -- The words were overheard here today, "...this is almost like moving." No kidding. Trying to do the last minute packing, tying off the loose ends, making sure that all the bases are covered, bills are paid, and all the fires are put out before we go is very tiring. Should-we-take-this-let's-leave-it-here-but-we-might-need-it-do-we-have-enough-do-we-have-too-much-we'll-just-buy-it-if-we-need-it-did-you-get-a-chance-to-do... Hooowee...


This, of course, is not just a week or two--three months really is a long time to be away from home. Not only will we be on "vacation," but we will also be home(?)schooling along the way. Hopefully, this trip will be a wonderful "classroom" like no other.

Well, likely a night of restless sleep ahead, as we wrestle with thoughts of whether we got everything done, despite our best efforts at planning. Cheer us on, as we prepare to see our great nation and meet the challenges that we will likely face as we motor off in a cloud of Suburban dust--Goose Lake, Oregon is the first day's destination--stay tuned, blogs with photos to follow...

What a lovely surprise this morning to see that you had updated your blog. Sounds like you're having a wonderful time, in spite of the weather. Hope the rains and flooding are over by the time you reach the Midwest. I look forward to your next entry.

Was so glad to read your update. Sorry that the folks in Springfield weren't very friendly. That's so unlike Illinois people. You've covered a lot of territory, and sounds like you're having a great time. The children are getting such a wonderful education in American history. I look forward to your next update.
