The Great American Road Trip (Preparation)

Ellen Grizwald here catching up on the week's past event. We are once again taking a cross country summer trip. It all started with the purchase of a van several years ago and we have logged some major miles on this baby! In 2007 we drove to San Diego from Dalhart and stopped at the Grand Canyon. Last summer we drove to Palm Coast, Florida and got to stay with the Wright Brothers. This year we headed up the middle of the country to Big Sky, MT. I'm hoping to download some pictures while we are still on vacation. I'll check back in a day or two with a day by day run down of our trip. We have had a blast...uh wait, "Clark, you are driving 80 miles an hour!". (hahahaha) Ellen out.

Godspeed Wood family.

I should share a tip Bret heard too...
Give your kids $20 in 1's before you leave. Each time they fight, ask how much longer or ask to pee immediately after a potty break you take money away. If they get along and mind - they will have spending money for the trip and you will have your sanity.

Test it out and tell me if we should try it!
