Our cross Country Trec HOME!!

So we bantered back and forth for while about how we wanted to execute this move across the country. There's a lot of things to think about! But we finally decided to avoid the hassle of Andy driving a gigantic moving truck and me falling asleep behind the wheel of the the Pilot with a fussy 2 year old, and just shipped our stuff through ABF. Great decision. They are also storing our stuff for about a month or so until we find a place to live. Excellent!

So London and I flew with my mother-in-law, while Andy and his dad drove the Pilot with Isaac and Lex. Again, great decision.

I was little worried about them but they had a great time! The 1st day they drove through Pittsburgh and stayed near Kirtland, Ohio, where they were able to check out the temple.

The next day they drove through Cleveland and stopped in Indiana. One of Andy's good friends is getting his PhD at Notre Dame so they took a little tour of the campus.

Touchdown Jesus!

They drove through Chicago, Wisconsin, the twin cities...

(There are some things I'm not proud that I've passed on to my children...)

The 3rd night, they stayed in a hotel with an indoor water park in Fargo, North Dakota. They had a blast!

The next day they drove through to the Teddy Roosevelt National Park where they were able to see lots of fun animals....

...like this bison here, that Andy was so brave to pet.

Nice try, Isaac, but I'm not fooled.

A look at Andy's new toy. Fully installed and full of crap!

Their last night was spent in Montana. They were planning to spend the day in Yellowstone but that plan was thwarted by a nasty blizzard (what the?! Isn't it summertime?) so they just zipped home instead. 5 days in all & a great experience. It's so good to be HOME!!
