To Grandmother's House We Go!

All our bags are packed. We're ready to go.

This evening we will go to sleep early and then wake up VERY early in the morning (2 a.m.- yikes!) to spend half of the night and most of tomorrow driving.

We will be going from here:


To here:

Northern Utah to southern Arizona... that's about 15 hours in the car! Did I also mention that we will have our 21 month old and our three year old with us? Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

Wish us luck!

    I was raised in Colorado snow, my hubby retired, we moved to Tucson...then got tired of dry air and ended up on the coast of Texas....

    Now, your two photos reminded me of the good ol' days.

    Have fun in your travels...make the best of the little ones with you...time in no time will they be grown and kids of their own.


    I have a Christmas wish along with my usual Wednesday post today. [the Wednesday issue of posting is below my 'card' posted just for you....]

    HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY.

    Wow! That's quite a car trip! I DO wish you luck, and lots of fun along the way. :) We traveled 12 hours away last Christmas, so I know the mixed feelings that come with traveling with little ones!

    We traveled for 16 hours when our kids were 2 and 3. It was like an adventure for them so they were pretty happy! We just made sure we took lots of activities and snacks!!!

    Good luck to you and Merry Christmas!
