I started this blog as commentary for my family's trip out west. We'll see what it evolves into. On July 16th, we will be leaving from our home and driving to our first stop, Sparta, Wisconsin. We will be coming back on August 9th. Along the way, we'll be driving through 13 states. My uncle, who's coming with us, is renting a conversion van, in which we will be cooped up together 10 hours at a time. Fun times! Even still, I can't wait until July 16th. Just 12 more days until we leave!!
