oh the anticipation...

The day before a good road trip is always a good day. Its like Christmas eve when you're a kid...

- Packing of what you are going to use, knowing how and where it'll be used.
- Prepping the car for the many miles you're about to put on it. Oh the things you'll see!
- Getting the drinks/snacks for the drive. You gotta have road fuel...
- Putting everything in the car, organizing it so any passengers are comfortable, everything that should be is accessible, and you still have some vision. Although the best trips block the rear window.
- The trying to go to bed, but being so excited you don't get much sleep...


Then the morning, and BAM you're on the road :D

wedding + west

I've been counting down the months, weeks, and now days, until the next big road trip. Should be at least 8000 miles, probably not including any of the putzing at the destinations...

- Iowa for a cousin's wedding. My family is great to party with :D
- Rushmore/Badlands via a drive through
- Yellowstone(Grand Teton) camping and staying in a cabin one night
- Glacier camping and staying in a cabin one night

This is the 'summer trip', and its also doubling up as our honeymoon. The cabins are kinda the splurges, we were planning on camping the rest of the time. We're both soooooo looking forward to it. The gorgeous scenery, the drive out there and back, the camping, maybe seeing the aurora borealis, the drive back, it'll be a GREAT TIME.

Plus hopefully I'll be updating this more frequently during the trip. One of the reasons I started it and all... If I have Internet out there that is.
