The Long Trip
3221 Miles
8 Days
12 states
a ton of trail mix
6 cases of soda
10 bathroom stops per day
We're finally here at our destination and spent the last week and a half just resting. It was a fun trip, with lots of special days visiting historic sites from our pioneer heritage. We sold our firstborn for BYU paraphanalia at the bookstore & car-i-oked our little hearts out. Benjamin was the best behaved baby ever, and really only had one difficult afternoon. Now we are camping at grandmas until we find a house to buy & Dave is in heavy practice finding mode-looking at buying one or working at a few different ones. We are on vacation until June 16th so we've got time until he has to really start working again and we are enjoying being together.

Your trip across country looks like it was amazing. I loved the church history pictures. It looks like I have some work to do..I noticed Olivia and Maren have been tagged! I have been neglectful with my blogging..i have discovered twilightmoms.com, combined with looking for a house..there just isn't time to blog :)

I overheard Gabby saying the other day to one of her stuffed animals, "when it is our turn to live at Grandma's, we will have fun." She thinks that is so cool you get to live there.
