But who's counting?
In January we decided to do
another RV trip. Honestly it’s going to
be hard to top the trip we took across the country two years ago. That trip, which tracked Route 66 and
included stops in New Mexico, The Grand Canyon (AZ), Disneyland (CA) and Death
Valley (CA), was almost perfect. The weather,
traffic, destinations and timing worked out so well, it hardly felt like two
weeks on the road. The horseback riding
in New Mexico and prickly pear margaritas in Death Valley easily cancelled out
the fact that we got lost in a dodgy section of St. Louis. Not even a trip to
the pharmacy for what turned out to be a minor ear infection could dampen the pleasantly
mild weather we felt in southern California.
While all of the good fortune and fun we had on the last trip provided
plenty of incentive to do another one, there was one motivation that stood out
above all others… the kids loved it. I think all of the adults were surprised and
impressed at how much enjoyment the kids got out of the trip. Sure, they loved Disneyland, but who’d a
thought they would enjoy a campground in middle of nowhere Ohio? Or running around at 8 AM spray painting Cadillac’s
sticking out of the ground? Or running
up a dune in the middle of Death Valley when it’s 114 degrees outside? - But they loved all of it. And asked for more… So here we go…
In one week we leave for the
Badlands and Black Hills of South Dakota !
