Starting Our Family Trip Out West!

Today we started on our 2-week family vacation/trip out west to Utah and Idaho.  We are going to arrive in Utah on Saturday and stay through Thursday.  We will then spend the next week in Idaho and come back home on the 4th, just in time to pack up Sarah and Brittany to go to EFY early the next day!

Normally we leave to drive out west around 4:30 or 5:00 am, but today we didn’t leave until about 11 (I worked part-day from home).  It’s always hard to see the trip odometer start out at 1 mile, because you know that you have over 1400 left before you arrive at your first destination!  😐

Our trip went well!  We made it out to Sydney Nebraska before stopping for the night.  The kids were really good and the best traveler award today went to Ben!  🙂  He was an angel the entire day and never cried!  Whew!  We traveled for about 900 miles today.  We are very tired and are not looking forward to the longer day than normal tomorrow.  We have about 600 miles left before getting to North Ogden, UT.
