• Where I belong June 27, 2009
  I know you’ve all been in suspense on how the end of our trip went.  Wednesday night we made the decision to drive an extra two hours and get as close as we could to Utah.  Unfortunately, shortly after we made that decision we drove through a horrible storm. I’m very glad I wasn’t driving, [...]

• HOME! June 19, 2009
  We made it home yesterday at 10:30pm, and we’ll tell you ALL about it later

• The long day June 18, 2009
  Yesterday started off so peacefully.  We woke up after a solid sleep in York, Nebraska, had breakfast, loaded the car, and went off in search wiper blades and an oil change, so we could maintain the warranty on Miranda’s car.  We got right in for a quick service at the cleanest Wal-Mart ever and were [...]

• Rainy June 16, 2009
  We’ve already put in as many hours driving today as we did yesterday. We stopped at a Subway on the western edge of Illinois for lunch and Abby posed. It’s been raining off and on since we left Indiana this morning, sometimes pretty hard. Miranda didn’t seem to appreciate my ipod rain medley while she [...]

• Day 2 June 16, 2009
  We are currently driving through rainy Illinois. I probably should have bought new windshield wipers before I left Canada. Oops! We drove into the CST time zone an hour ago and it was high fives all around as we realized we gained an extra hour of daylight driving!

• Artifacts! June 16, 2009
  Not only is Elkhart, Indiana the home of the RV/motor home Hall of Fame, but we have the original shower massager. I can’t believe I didn’t have to pay extra for this! Seriously though, that was the best night’s sleep in months. Oh, and I forgot the picture of the first true casualty of the drive yesterday. [...]

• A drug-free high June 16, 2009
  John posted about the journey so far, so I will post about my immigration experience.  Abigail and I stayed a hotel in Fort Erie, Ontario last night which was literally 5 minutes from the border.  I barely slept at all last night, dreading this morning.  At 6am I finally decided to get out of bed, [...]

• Relief! June 16, 2009
  So…I’m not sure I really expected to be writing this post tonight. Even after 7+ hours of driving (not bad for a first day on the road), it doesn’t seem completely real yet. There was only one thing that had to happen today, and it did, so I can’t ask for more. We didn’t [...]

• And they?re off. June 15, 2009
  Abby and Miranda just left to pack last night’s stuff back into their car and head to the border. We’re all nervous. Everything should be fine. But still, there’s that chance that scares us. We’ll know one way or another soon.
