Long time no blog! But I've decided to start up again, to keep the fam posted on my trip back east. So I'm starting up today to get back in the groove (oh Mom, you're sooo 60's!)

Anyway, we're leaving on June 7th (all my bags are packed, I'm ready to go....NOT) But my trip has been mapped out, reservations made at Super 8's all across....

UPDATE: We're traveling straight across to Connecticut first, instead of going right to Virginia. It's a 5 day trip - arriving there friday night.

I haven't done this since 1990 - then I drove the whole way with 7 children - the Kracken was in his prime at the time, and Bug was potty training - (on the road again, can't wait to pee on the road again!) It was quite an adventure!

This time will be a breeze - driving across with 3 grandchildren, ages 13, 9, and 8. We'll actually stop and see things on the way (didn't do that with the 7 - toooooo scary!)

This will be my diary of the trip - so stay tuned for more!
