1,700 Miles

1,700 miles-need I say more?
For a total car time of 29 hours. Our kids were rock star travelers, with that said, I do not blame them if they scream,bite or kick the next time I try to buckle them into "the minnie" for a road trip! This of course, is a lengthy post but it is my shout out to UTAH. My sister in-law, who understands what it is like to live out of bags for weeks, told me that by next year I would be ready to come back and do it all again. She is right,though some parts of our trip were a little rough with the crew, I am all ready looking forward to our Summer 2010 vacay.


Surprise! Happy (belated) Birthday Utah Style, Trent concocted a surprise party for me from afar.
Trent had been planning this little shin dig for a few weeks. I love him for the thought, but in all fairness this cute little Momma had to pull it all together to make it happen. Thanks Mom-ba!






The much awaited for Bosch- Hey my cooking gals, do you remember our conversation before I left for Utah? The Trentster came through!

3.5 HOURS REMAINING
I love that I could tell my kids "only 20 hours left" and they would cheer. It is a beautiful thing when they do not know the difference between 1 and 29!




Every one has asked us how we ever survived our drive a cross the country with three little ones? Our secret to successes.... You cry, you get candy.
