Unfortunately, we didn't bring the ship home yet. I won't have my hitch installed until next week after I get my spray-in bed liner done, so right now I'm kind of like a kid who peeked at the best Christmas present...you know what it is, but you can't enjoy it till the big day! It's eating away at my soul!!
As an extra bonus, we also got our new Full Time Families membership package. We are officially family 836. I'm planning a more thorough review in the near future, but let me just say that I think Kristy is running a hell of a show over there and my entire family is chomping at the bit to get out there and meet some other members and take advantage of some of their programs. They even have a program for the kids that is similar to the Boy and Girl Scouts kind of setup, but for camping...how cool is that? You can click the link at the bottom to get more info...I highly recommend it. Expect to hear more about that as we go!
We know we'll be heading up through Virginia for Stephanie's Junior Olympics event. That will be followed by a trip through West Virginia to Ohio where we'll be staying on land that was once owned by my great grandfather. Then we'll go west to stay in Illinois and on to Amana, Iowa (which I think is going to be very cool). After that it's up through Minnesota all the way to Duluth, and then almost a month in Wisconsin with friends which will end up in Door County. After that it's back to Bloomington, IN for the Buckeye Game and then off to the Mississippi River which we'll follow back south before it gets too cold. We've got some stops in concrete already...and some are just pencilled in so changes can be made, but it's coming together!
So...now we've got a couple things to figure out before the big trip. Things like what tires to put on it, what washer/dryer to get, how to set up my workstation, and of course what our path will be on the road trip. I've gotten a lot of questions about that last one, so let me tell you what I know...

We're really looking forward to this adventure and we can't wait to get started. We're glad you'll be along for the ride too!
