Lazy day...

“How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterwards.” — Spanish Proverb Lazy day for Ellie and me...just beginning the process of thinking about packing...yes, I said the process of thinking about it. I have to plan everything! You should see the spreadsheets for the trip alone. I was productive though, laundry is in process, bills are paid although not fully recorded yet.

In my mind I'm turning over thoughts about great places to see inside the parks we plan to visit...here's the high level itinerary:
  • Carlsbad Caverns, NM
  • Four Corners
  • Grand Canyon Railway Tour
  • Grand Canyon Skywalk
  • Yosemite
  • San Francisco, CA
  • Big Sur, CA
  • Yellowstone
  • Mt. Rushmore


Any suggestions?

“Bizarre travel plans are dancing lessons from God.” – Kurt Vonnegut

Is it bizarre? To plan a trip where you will be driving over 5,000 miles in the span of two weeks? Maybe...but what's life without a little bizarre now and then?

I've wanted to do this trip for several years and there's no one else that I think I could do it with than my bestie, Ratac. We don't live in the same city - I'll share about that later - and we don't see each other very often, so two weeks probably won't kill us. Notice I said probably...

Our journey begins soon. I hope you will follow us as we travel this great land. I can't wait!
