The only real issue I has been that the Internet quit in Albuquerque and didn’t pick back up again until I reached California. I had not over planned this trip because so much has been going on.

In our house whenever we take the kids somewhere we tell them we are going on an “adventure.” Usually this means we are going to the grocery store or to get the oil changed. Sometimes it means we are going thrift store shopping or to buy new shoes. The only reason we trick cajole the kids into getting into the car is that occasionally we hit the zoo or the children’s museum. However this year we are actually going on adventures. Real…
