Holy long vacation! Kudos to you for being able to stay in an RV for a month - I definitely couldn't have done it! Hope you enjoy Kansas!
ReplyDeleteWow....how awesome!!!! I know at times you were probably tired of driving and traveling...but totally awesome. We are RV people too (in the form of a 35ft 5th wheel toy hauler)....your move is our ideal vacation. We love to camp and explore new places but waiting until the kids are a bit older to hit up the Grand Canyon and such. Congrats on the move. I hope you are settled and enjoying your new home/city.

Wow! Long drive...I recognize some of those places from my home place of Utah. Antelope Island definitely equals gnats :P Looks like a wonderful time though. Glad you all made it safe and had fun.
