The Ride

We left Highland on Tuesday, July 10, 2007 and arrived in Massachusetts on Monday, July 16, 2007. After seven days and more than 2000 miles in the car, all children and both parents were still alive. Actually, the trip wasn't as nearly as tiring as I had anticipated. I'm pretty sure that's because Richard drove every single mile! He's amazing. The kids had very few meltdowns, and luckily the car had no breakdowns. Besides a MAJOR downpour that soaked most of our belongings in Colorado, the trip was devoid of problems. We definitely had lots of fun though. Check out the pictures for a sample of our sightseeing.

We stopped for a vehicle check and Cooper demonstrated what "the dead bugs on the car look like!"
