The kids have been looking at pictures of Sophie a bunch of times a day and saying, "I miss Sophie."
We have traveled every day so far. We are in Albuquerqu tonight after a 13 hour drive today. Yesterday we went to St. Louis and took the tram to the top of the arch! Way cool!
July 4 (tomorrow) we are driving to the Grand Canyon! Hopefully the weather will be OK. We ran into some serious rain from tropical storm Alex! We are having a great trip so far! The kids have been awesome! Oklahoma had lots of corn. Texas had lots of pasture land, and New Mexico has had lots of expansive vistas!
Tell me if Sophie continues not to pee.

Day 1: Albion to Linchtfield, Illinois
Pleasant morning. We left at 7:00 a.m. and immediately stopped at McDonald's in Conneaut! MMMM. We've stopped frequently at rest areas, sometimes throwing around a ball, sometimes getting a free Dyno jump and high-tech simulated race car drive! Carter outdrove his dad by a long shot! We did our part helping BP clean up the Gulf by paying extra! We did get three new hats, two little flashlights, and four hotdogs with chips and drinks for $4 and overpiced gas!

Day 1
Day 1, March 15, 2008: Happy birthday, Mom! We rented a minivan to travel in because the Durango gets such poor gas mileage. Friday night, Chuck and I checked all of the kids' bags and staged everything to go into the van. We set the alarm for 4:00 a.m. to set off.
At 4:15 the kids all came downstairs already dressed, ready to go! WOO HOO! They were great! They even made their beds before we left....without being asked to do it! We finally hit the road around 5:00 A.M. We tried to pack lightly, but we still had a lot in the van.
Chuck drove through fog...thick fog...pea soup-thick fog...from Cleveland to Columbus. We stopped at Micky D's for breakfast. Makenna had pancakes there for the first time! You'll have to read her posts to read her review of them. From Columbus I drove to Tennesee in clear skies.
We stopped and Chuck took over. It began to rain...really hard. In Nashville it rained so much that the low areas of the roads were flooded and covered the windshield when we drove through them. Very scary driving.
Eventually, the weather cleared and I drove from the Alabama state line to the first stop in Langston, Alabama with a warm breeze and sunny skies. Sixty-five degrees.
The kids were great travelers. They read, played games with each other and with us, took naps, argued just a little, and watch the landscape go by as we drove.
We got to Little Mountain Marina Camping Resort on Lake Guntersville around 7:30 p.m. Our cabin was quaint and clean!
We ate pizza for dinner, watched some old Looney Tunes on a DVD we brought, and were ready to sleep. Then we realized that "Renters must provide bed linens" included pillows and blankets, too! The kids had their blankets and travel pillows, but we didn't. Luckily, the camp store had one blanket left: a queen-sized down comforter for only $35! We slept soundly.
Spring Vacation 2008
Two weeks before we were to leave for sunny Florida, we had an ice storm and then 30" of snow in Albion, Pennsylvania. We were ready to go. So we packed up our bags, and we took off down the road to visit Uncle Dave, Aunt Mimi, Chris, and Aaron, all who live on the panhandle of Florida in or near Destin. By the time we checked into our cottage in northern Alabama, it was sunny and 65 degrees. Life is good.Makenna, Kelli, and Carter plan to add their journal entries to the blog, too. Read each of thier updates.
