First Entry

We are about to embark on a road trip from our homes in Hammond and River falls, WI to Western destinations to visit friends and see historic and natural sites in many states. Our plan is to leave on Friday, July 10th. We will travel through Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and into Southern California. The return trip will go from Northern California into Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming for sure, with thoughts of Montana and North Dakota.

We will attempt to post photographs and write of our experiences. Everyone on the trip will have a voice and their stories will be told in their own words. We're excited about this trip and about creating our own memories as we travel. Saving them to this blog will be fun now while doing it, and later. while recalling the trip.

So, see you soon with reports and pictures from our travels.

Peace.

  1. I'm going on this trip. I'm going to see a lot of things. I'm excited to see the redwood trees in northern California. This trip will be my first time camping this summer. I like to camp out. I like to travel with my Grandma and Grandpa. We travel somewhere every year. Last year we went to DC. This will be a fun trip. I'm hoping the ocean water is a lot warmer than the Atlantic ocean was in Delaware last year. I'll be writing about all the thongs we see. I'll try drawing a few pictures, and I'll take some pictures too. I'll try to put some of the pictures on the blog.

  2. I am so excited to go on this trip. I'm most excited to go to Disneyland. I'm happy that I get to spend some time with my Grandma and Grandpa. I'm hoping that we get to drive through a redwood tree. On our way to California, I hope we see a lot of cool and exciting things. I'll get back here soon and post a lot of pictures.

  3. I can't wait to go to California. I like to spend time with my Grandma and Grandpa. A long time ago we went at Washington DC, I like that because we had ice cream at Washington DC. I hope we have ice cream on this trip. I can't wait to camp. I like to go at Disneyland and have fun with my Grandma and Grandpa. I'm gonna take pictures and tell stories.
