One week to launch!

The school year is frantically coming to a close, which means we are frantically preparing for departure... We've been as busy as clever little monkeys packing, installing things in the RVs, making repairs, downloading Radiohead to the iPods, making sure boots still fit, ordering new boots, returning new boots, hitting BJ's twice a day, and hoping that those Amazon orders arrive at the house before we leave! Having a new RV is quite a bit more like having a new house than a new car. You have to go get everything... plates, cups, pots, pans, sheets, towels, etc.

We want to wish good luck and good times to our friends the Regans and Willards, who are also trying to slip away from the confines of this mundane existence with trips of their own!

By this time next Friday, we'll be in camp outside of Toledo, headed toward scenic, quaint, and perpetually cute Door County, Wisconsin. From there we're on to Teddy Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, and them home to Glacier National Park. (Claire, you're going to love it!)

There should be great times ahead, and we hope you'll stick with us! I promise to be at least a little bit entertaining.

XOXOXO
