Day Two and it's really sinking in...


Our first day on the road trip the kids and Mom spent the day with Steve's long time friends Jason and Jami Phelps in Vancouver. Then last night after Steve finished working with the Portland Rep Nick Ortega, we drove to Kent, Wa which is just south of Seattle. We checked in to our first RV park at a KOA campground. It's been pouring rain for the last day and night with only a few breaks where we were able to squeeze in some swimming in an outdoor heated pool. The kids also enjoyed an outdoor giant chess game at the playground. Today it finally became real this whole road trip adventure when Steve woke up and drove off to work this morning to meet with the Seattle Rep, Steve Simmons and left me and the kids in the motor home...wow, this is crazy! We are getting used to it though and look forward to everyday ahead.

Hey guys!
This trip sounds like quite the adventure. I'm glad you're blogging about it so we can check up on ya. Three months on the road is crazy, but it sounds like fun. Do you get to keep the RV when you're through?

Ok, first of all....congrats on the new Jensen!! December is SO soon...I had no idea! Second, how fun! ROAD TRIP! I bet the kids are loving it. Are you driving two cars around then, or just the Minnie? Are your travels bringing you through the tri-cities?! What are the kids doing for school? How are you handling dr's appt's on the road?

So many questions....This sounds SO FUN!!!!

Hey Doll and Family! You remind me of your mother who took you and Roxie with her to Europe....brave girls! What a great way to see the world. So is there a Salt Lake City stopover? That would be fantastic. I will be thinking of you and praying for your safety.

Love you all...
