The Journey

Well, this Saturday, June 2nd we plan to head across country in a rented RV (sleeps 7) with a U-Haul trailer behind it pulling our belongings. We'll begin in Albany, NY, head down to visit friends in both Connecticut and Washington DC, then drive down to South Carolina to visit Kevin's Uncle Tom & Aunt Melinda on Calawassie Island as well as his former GE co-worker Stephanie. We'll proceed from there to visit Pastor Timmy Straight in Lousiana and follow that up with going through Houston, TX to visit my cousin Melanie and her family and maybe a visit to NASA where she overees space shuttle launches. Then begins our long hot drive through Texas until we reach southern California where we plan to get a CityPass and go to San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Universal Studios, California Adventure and....DISNEYLAND (Chandler can't wait for Disneyland)! After that we will drive up to San Francisco and then to Palo Alto where we will put our stuff from the U-Haul in Storage, look around the school, drop off the rv, rent a van and head up to Washington. Halfway through that last leg of the trip we hope to visit our friend Sabrina and her family in Oregon. So that is the adventure we have planned...we'll just see if it all works out "just so". Hmm...I am actually avoiding watching the movie "RV" with Robin Williams because I think I might change my mind about our plans if I do so!!! If you think about it, say a prayer for us! I think we'll need it with the four kids, Kevin's mom and Kevin & I! Having two babies in an RV...challenging...but not as challanging as in a van! At least there can be feedings, changings, and naps without having to stop every single time!
