packing car

Well, tomorrow is the day. All groceries are bought, all chargers packed, and GPS loaded. Most of the car is parked except for suitcases and the one with all the grooming goodies. Fridge is cooling and have been packing it.

Between our next door neighbors, David and Cindy the animals should be taken care of. Not sure Angel is ready for this though. Cindy brought over a "few" goodies bags for Ashley. Should get her through a couple of weeks :-)

Our first stop for the night will probably be other side of Memphis. Wherever the "mood" hits us. With a book to listen to, the drive will probably be longer than without. Will be in DC on the 2nd.

Summer trip planning

I had so much fun using a blog last year for our car trip decided to do it again this year. We will be leaving a day earlier than planned as we are meeting Stephen's family in DC.

Have been busy making lists of things to do before we leave, food to buy for on the trip, and packing list so we don't forget anything. Neighbors are going to take care of the dogs in exchange for use of the pool and David will take care of the bird and cat. So I think we are covered there.

Lloyd has made the spread sheet to keep track of our expenses, gas mileage, etc. Books have been downloaded for listening while driving. Amazing how fast time passes when you are involved in a book on disk ( or actually mp3).

Not sure how much I will post before we leave, but wanted to get this started.
