Are we there yet?

April 22, 2012

Well, we are off. For the trip. Where we drive to the other side of the continent, see a retired space shuttle, listen to some awesome flute music, hang out with family, pretend that their beaches don’t totally suck and then drive back. Right, that trip.

We are hurtling down 85 toward 101, then we’ll go over 152 to 5 where we will stay for a mind numbingly long time. Wow, and now we are done with 5 and in Bakersfield for lunch. Here is a pic for you that represents all the drive this morning.

“

And we now are on leg 16 of 228 (from the TripTik). C keeps saying “we only need to do the drive so far 29 more times.”

My sister-in-law (of the awesome flute music and of having done this trip far too many times) suggested we take each day at a time in order not to feel overwhelmed. Sensible advice. So today, we are not going to the East Coast, we are going to Flagstaff, AZ. And we are about 1/3 of the way there (today is a long drive day).

I meant to take a before picture but by the time we were packed and ready to go, we were already getting in the car. I did do a before picture for pups though. I’ll miss them and the house and my comfiness.

Bring on the trip! And the lunch…
