Getting Ready

Wooo! We leave tomorrow! We've been busily checking the car, planning out our route, looking at odd things to see along the way and searching for deals on hotels. I wanted to stay at KOA's in cabins but Mom insisted on staying on hotels. I think she said something about wanting a hot shower and a comfy bed?

We're starting the morning of Thursday, June 16th and driving about 600 miles the first day to Richfield, UT. It's a road we've taken many times. As Dad likes to point out, we usually sleep the whole way. So we're going to get some miles out of the way from the beginning.

We're armed with books and maps, flares and traffic triangles, extended AAA towing and a first aid kit. As Dad likes to say (well to be fair, I think he said it once or twice) Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. I learned how to work a car jack and change a tire as well as a review on how to check the oil and jump-start a car.

We're both really excited! Still have a lot of packing to do (food and clothes)

More to come later!
