We Made It!

We're alive!!!

We made it through two thirds of the continental United States, driving a not very direct route of 2826.6 miles in six days and seven nights. Holy poop, I'm surprised we're both alive!

The route that we took! This is a screenshot from Road Trippers which I highly suggest for planning purposes if you're thinking about doing a road trip anytime soon. Or also just a vacation, it shows a lot of lesser known places to stay/visit. 

We got back yesterday, 7/5, a little after 6pm. Today has been a day of not entirely settling in. I haven't unpacked anything not related to my daily routine and all my stuff stuff doesn't arrive from the movers for a couple weeks. I suspect I'll be doing these updates semi-slowly as I ease into a routine of normal life again; but normal doesn't really get normal for a couple of weeks.

My crazy schedule is as follows:
This week - a different doctor appointment every day (car doctor (aka oil change), dentist, eye doctor, foot doctor, standard doctor. Basically all maintenance I didn't do this past year is getting done this week)
This weekend - going to Lake Geneva for Bobby's cousin's wedding
Beginning of next week - start a whole brand-spankin new job
Later next week - head to Colorado to stand up in my friend Hannah's wedding
Week after that - first kinda normal week back at home with Christmas in July party on the weekend
Weekend after that - another random get together/party that has a title but I can't remember
Weekend after that - wedding of a family friend
Weekend after that - My birthday and grandparent's 55th anniversary party
THEN I'M FREE

Moral of that story being that if you want to see me before the middle/end of August it may have to be on a week night or you may need to book me ahead of time. I'm not kidding, I'll make a date to see people if I need to.

I hope to be able to blog about the trip during this week and next, being finished before I head to Colorado. That's the goal anyways.

I'll start tomorrow (probably) but for now I am going to edit pictures and chill in the recliners here. I've missed recliners.

Having a Crazy-Fun Time!

Hi all!

I know I said I was going to blog throughout this trip, and I really really wanted to, but then we got busy having too much fun and seeing all the sights! First two nights were Vegas so obviously the nightlife was really important to see and that cut down significantly on blogging opportunity.

BUT I am keeping a list of topics to hit when I do recap posts so the random funny little things that commonly get forgotten when doing a recap but could deserve a post all of their own will be written about! For example in future posts you will hear about the best watermelon on earth and our near disaster today driving at night in elk country (no worries Mom, not a very close call but close enough to get the adrenaline pumping).

So far we have had 2 nights in Las Vegas and now tonight just south of the Grand Canyon. All the pictures we have taken are on my real life camera, not my phone, so the recap posts will have all the pictures.

See you all so super soon, we will be home Saturday!!
