As some of you know, we have decided to embark on our first family road trip longer than the Black Hills. We are surprising Bailey with a trip to Disneyland. I enjoyed our long family roadtrip vacations and I am hoping that Brent and Bailey feel the same way. I can honestly say that at the time we took the trips I often wondered why we couldn't fly there but as I have gotten older I love being able to share stories with my family about the adventures we had. I will never forget Dusty getting upset that my dad got pulled over for speeding or that Brian and Deb had rented a Chevy Lumina van that reminded us of a space vehicle. We also remember how much has changed in terms of child safety seats when we remember back to the winter trip to Disney World. Angee, Dusty and I were perfectly secure in our bean bag chairs in the back of the truck. Who needed heat when you had lots of blankets in the topper?
While our trip to Disney World was amazing last year and we hope to do the all inclusive trip to Florida again soon, at the end of March we are starting our driving adventure. Because I tend to get excited about these kinds of things, I made up a list of over 60 clues that we are giving to Bailey each night. She then is guessing at where we might be heading. The clues so far have ranged from: we will be high in the sky but not in a plane but in our car. The guess she made on that one: she was pretty concerned that a giant crane was going to pick our car up. My favorite guess had to be when Brent gave her the clues of: It starts with B and smells like salt. She went off to bed only to come almost stomping into our room in the morning telling us she figured it out and that we would be spending our Spring Break having breakfast at Denny's. Breakfast started with a B and it smells like salt from all the food. Not quite the saltwater, beach image Brent had but it made us laugh.
During our trip I hope to be able to post pictures along our way. We watched Vacation over the weekend and Bailey has requested that on our trip that we don't take any old people along because she does not want them to die and have to ride on the roof. That was her favorite part of the movie, along with Clark falling asleep at the wheel.
