On the road again

We leave today for a trip across the US of A, and we are both pretty excited. Our first stop is Coeur d'Alene, Idaho to visit Erin's folks. Then we are going through Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks on our way to Denver to visit Erin's sister, Erica. Our final destination is Louisiana to visit my family, and then we will loop through the Southwest to see more family on the way home. We are also going to see the Grand Canyon, because neither of us have been there before. We will be gone until the first week of August.

It is actually kind of bitter-sweet to leave now. We are just getting used to being home again and seeing friends whenever we want, and now we have to go. I'm almost tempted to bring our coffee machine with us.

The funniest thing about this trip is that we are packing more for 5 weeks than we did for 6 months. Of course we have our car, so it isn't a big deal but it is remarkable how much different this trip is from our 'around the world' trip.
