Mileage Calculator Anyone??

The Wheels On The MomVan Go Round And Round...
and round and round and...


I am not kidding. I totally lost count of hours logged on our mega super family road trip... 40 hours? or was it 50?!

  • Oregon to Utah: 10 hours (unless you run into cows on the road, and extra long Saturday breakfast wait times at the teeny tiny diner in the teeny tiny town on the long long drive, and construction on I-80 in the dreariest part of northern Nevada...!) then it's more like 12 hours.

  • Running around along the Wasatch Front from Draper to Tremonton to Sandy to Draper... (But wait till I show you all the fun people and pictures from the Women Who Make It conference!)

  • Driving from SLC to Vernal (3 hour trip) not once... but THREE separate times.. and back again.. three separate times... are you beginning to get the picture here...??

  • After a totally SHORT flight to Seattle from SLC.. for our anniversary trip... and after a couple nights in Seattle down by the waterfront (yes I have amazing pics!) We then drove to Vancouver and back again... how many hours is this so far? Do you have a calculator?

  • Finally after spending the entire last day at the Lagoon Theme Park (and by entire I mean we stayed til the park closed at 11PM FOLKS!)... We got up at 6AM to make the last leg of the longest road trip in our family's history..

....I promise..
coming up...

Great pictures. Funny stories. And one Fabulous. Wonderous. I Can Hardly Stand it I'm So Happy... NEW CAMERA!!

This is the first part of getting back into Oregon from Northern Nevada... This cliff of a road has NO GAURD RAILS... mostly I just close my eyes during this part and chant.. there's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home...

Wow! Oh my heck! Wow! And I won't even take Claire in the car for longer than 2.25hrs at one time!

I'm not even sure what to ask about first!? Wait - yes I do: how was the honeymoon part? I've heard a bit - and I'm so glad for you guys to have had the second honeymoon in Seattle :) . Same people, different stage of life, but same love! Very romantic...

Welcome home!
Exactly! I have this whole plan to run a few posts about life after 15 years of marriage. The things that are the same, different etc..
You are a vacationing marvel my friend! When you road trip, you ROAD TRIP!!

I want to hear all about your new camera boyfriend.

And I am sad we never got together while you were here. This is me with a BIG "no one likes a frowny face" frown on. Sniff.

Shut up?? That stretch has a name? We always thougtht it was called Suicide Hill!!
WOW, WOW! I love that pic. I can't wait to see the other ones you took! I need a new camera I think. Maybe I'll ask for one for my Bday in Fall! Sounded like an amazing family vacation and anniversary. I hope to visit the upper western states some day!!
Damn I would have shot someone. That's too long in a car for me...You Are CRAZY! LOL. I like to fly where I have to go, or maybe I'm just too impatient to enjoy the nice peaceful ride. You know us city girls...Go Go Go
Very cool. Did you all do this in an RV?

BTW-added you to my blogroll :)
Wonderful Pictures! Are you serious that you have continuous 40 hours road trip. That must be a tiring trip or service essay Ninja Essays interesting as well. But I am still not believed that you had 40 hours trip. It is really unbelievable for me at least. Eagerly wait for more updates about your adventures trip. Stay Happy!
