well, it's official. the route has been chosen. so, we're gonna do it in about four days and it should prove to be a fun trip. i'm excited to see colorado in the winter. i love the mountains mid winter. i've been there every other year for the last six years... all in december... strange.

so, family in phoenix, staying over night in flagstaff, staying overnight in colorado springs and then staying over night in aurora nebraska with the gus gang, then the following day we'll make it home.

any suggestions along the way? we'll miss sedona, sadly. it'll be dark by the time we pass by there. wanna see the grand canyon and then i love colorado springs. i plan on visiting the harley dealership, per my brother.

now that that part of the move is planned, it's time to finish packing and attempt to fit everything i own into my vehicle. we'll see how this goes.



on beckys blog she mentioned if weather is bad we'll head east... i'm really hoping that doesn't have to happen. i want to see colorado, i want to go to nebraska... i could do without the nothingness of iowa but i really want to see the mountains. that and i've done that drive before, the southern route of the states and it sucks. no joke. theres no sugar coating it's just bad. i remember seeing tumbleweed in texas and not knowing that was real until right then.

it's funny that i know which routes to take. this will be my third time driving across the country again in the last six years. that just seems wrong. we're best western-ing it along the way so i'm sure you'll get mobile updates!

now... back to packing

Have afe trip! As you pass through Colorado Springs, pay homage to Deer Valley Ranch. As I'm sure you've heard the many stories, your dad was a wrangler there for a summer. (Ah. Memories of "the swimming skunk".....)

Wish there were some way you could swing through Florida, but alas, THAT detour would definitely put a snag in your time-line (and there's nothing more painful than a snagged time-line!).

Tell your Aunt Maralyn (and the rest in Neb.) "Hi!" for us.

DRIVE SAFE! (And keep your chucka-boots on!
