Troy, michigan

This week has been a crazy one as we head into our next road trip adventure. My dad has been in and out of the hospital and is currently in. We don’t know what is wrong exactly. Ben has had his drivers test (he is an official driver now). Well, he still has to go to the Secretary of State but we don’t have time now. The other two have had drama and baseball after school. Ben has had some AP History test practices in the evenings. I am trying to wrap my mind around this trip and packing. Months ago, I booked all of our hotels being that it is spring break for many. I booked some of our activities like Alcatraz, Warner Brothers and the Pink Jeep tours. We have a house rented near the Grand Canyon. We have made plans to visit my sister,, Heather in San Francisco, The McCormicks in Santa Cruz, The Lanstras in Pasadena, Paul’s brother Dave in Las Vegas, and our niece Emily at Mizzou in Columbia. Now I have to pack up the car before Friday. There is a HUGE weather system going through the entire center of the country right now dumping snow and causing storms but it looks like it will be past by the time we leave. That added a little worry as well. We are all excited. Everyone really enjoys the trips. We learn a lot about our country and each other. In 24 hours, we hit the road. Thanks Jen, again, for watching our pups.Read more
