That's right-we're not moving into someplace new...yet. Instead, we've packed the minivan and are taking off on a 6-week cross-country road-trip, just me and my 4 boys. I hope you'll come along with us!
Here are a few of the things we have planned (with a lot of unknown adventure in between):
Exploring close to home in Salt Lake and Park City
Respite in Wyoming at Little America
(you know I'm looking forward to doing that drive again...)
Our first annual cousin's conference in western Nebraska
LDS Church History Sites in Missouri
Driving The Great River Road down the Mississippi
Possible celebrity sighting in Louisiana?
Jaunt across to the Carolina beaches
Kitty Hawk for my kindergartner
Stops in Knoxville and Clarksville, TN
Nauvoo, IL, where our little family began
Across the top of Wyoming
Oregon Trail sights
Back to Utah by mid-July
I hope you'll come along with us! And if you have ideas of great local activities anywhere along our way, we'd love to hear them! There is an exciting summer coming!
This sounds great. Sam and I have been many of those places on our road trips. We found some great parks along the way. Maybe he remembers where they were... I have pictures, but that is about it. Looks like fun, we haven't had a long trip for a while and I feel that we need one.
ReplyDeleteIdeas on good parks would be nice! Since the kids outnumber the adult 4:1 on this trip, we're doing it super laid back and cheap.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an adventure you are beginning! I love road trips, but have never done one solo with the kids on this scale! Have a great time! Can't wait to see what you discover! Of course, I'll be joining you on this trip! :-) Stay safe and enjoy your boys as they discover the world!
ReplyDeleteWhen you get close to KY/IN/TN let me know and I'll see if there are any great destinations you should explore!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharon. I've already added Knoxville because of some of your great suggestions!
ReplyDeleteYou are one brave going out with your 4 kids and you alone! I love going with my little one, but she is, well, only one person! I look forward to reading about your adventures and it sounds like you've got some great destinations in there!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely AWESOME!!!
