We are going on our third leg of our 50 States Before They Graduate adventure. We have been to 23 states so far. This year we will add 9 more in 16 days. We will be traveling to Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oaklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. I have been planning for 6 months to a year booking hotels, the house in Taos, activities and mapping our routes. I, also put a word out for suggestions of things to do on our route to friends, family and strangers. We have gotten a lot of great ideas that way. It has gotten easier to pack because we have been on a couple of trips already. I have our drawers packed in the back, backpacks with underwear, socks, pjs and bathing suits and the bathroom dufflebag is packed with everyone’s bathroom supplies. The bathroom bag is handy to keep all bathroom stuff together. I am excited to get on the road.Read more

Well, we are 18 hours from departure. My usual plan for one week before our trip is to clean the car and start packing it with essentials. I have everyone start packing their clothes for the drawers in the car and pack their backpacks with sleepwear ("Jammie's" is not an acceptable terms these days particularly because underwear is the sleepwear of choice.), socks, underwear and bathing suits which we need every night in the hotel. I figure out what food we need to pack for the road and for our first major stop. I also clean the house so we come home to a nice house.

This year is a little different. Last week, we took our van into the shop for an oil change and to check a noise we heard. They have had our van since then. I am picking it up at 2 PM today, Thursday, the day before we leave and we are leaving at 6 AM. UHHHH! The van is not ready. There is another kink in the plan. We have had construction going on for the past year and we are at the tail end of it. While we are gone, the painters are coming in to finish the upstairs and the downstairs. As much as I can say that I am relieved I won't be here while they finish, we have had to prep for them which means making a ginormous mess. No clean house when I come home. UHHHH!

Literally, Paul and I (and the kids) are getting in the car and driving west and never looking back. It will be nice to not think about it. We will miss our doggies though. Thanks to our neighbor and our dear friend Miss Jen, our doggies will be well taken care of.

Today, I have been baking muffins, making sandwiches and quinoa, and packing dry goods. I'm picking up the van soon.Read more
