California Dec 18, 2008

So we leave in about 36 hours on our 2 week trip to California. This will be our first time away from family for Christmas and Santa will be leaving presents at our house when we get back. There are a lot of people who want to hear all about the trip so I figured a blog would be a good way for people to know what's going on while we are out there. Scott is the only one that has ever been to California before so we are looking forward to a grand adventure.
For those that don't know, we are trying to get every State Capitol and as many National Parks as we can by the time the kids graduate from high school/ college. If I had my way we would spend all our time traveling from state to state in a RV and home school the kids. But there are responsibilities and jobs and all of that boring stuff to think of. Tomorrow is our 10 year anniversary and last year when we started thinking about how to celebrate, this was the way we chose. Of course we would not dream of taking a big trip and not brign the kids along. So we are heading west. We already have Virginia, SC, NC and Georgia under our belts and are already thinking up plans for next year.
We have internet almost every place we are staying to check in often over the next 2 weeks!
