Three Days...

In just three short days, we'll be skipping town for our fabulous road trip adventure!

And are we ready? Oh heck no.

We still have to get the car windows tinted and get the stereo and sub woofer (that's right, the Scion's gonna be bumpin'!) installed. That'll get taken care of tonight/tomorrow. We're also buying a GPS device thingamajig, and I'm planning on picking up maps from AAA too, just in case. On Saturday the car will get the finishing touches (alignment and tire rotation) and we can get to packin'. Between now and then there's plenty of laundry and house cleaning to keep us busy! Oh yeah, and I think we still have to book some hotel rooms... But you know us, if we're not procrastinating we're not living.

Catticus will not be neglected while we're gone, we have a wonderful house-sitter taking care of him and the Love Bungalow. Of course I'll worry about him anyway, and if anyone feels like dropping by the house to check on him and report back to me whether he's still alive, that would be great, thanks! ;) Sigh... I'm just gonna to miss him!

Okay. Getting a grip...

Anyway, the course is plotted (thank you, AAA TripTik!) and we're ready to go, mentally at least. So make sure to come back here on Sunday (and every day after that) to see updates from the road!

Counting Down to our Road Trip!

I'm so excited about our road trip I could pee my pants! But don't worry, I won't. I am a lady after all.

We'll be heading out in just 7.5 short weeks, and we'll be gone for two weeks.

Here's our route (the red line is our route there and the blue line is our route back home):
We already have the basics planned out, like how long we'll be driving each day and what cities we'll stay in each night. Plus we have four major stops planned - a Dodgers/Diamondbacks game in Phoenix, a Royals game in Kansas City, a few days visiting Aaron's cousin in Iowa, and a visit to Denver on the way home. Aaron's dream is to have visited every major league ballpark in the country before he kicks it. I think that's a cool idea, so we're getting started now. And he's always wanted to go to Denver. I'm excited about the adventure of a road trip, but Aaron took some convincing, so we decided to throw those things in for his benefit.

Most of our days will consist of 6 to 10 hours of driving. That is a LOT! So I've been spending some time on this website looking for fun and funky roadside attractions along the way. Ya know, to break up the monotony of just driving, driving, driving... Most are just photo ops of old Route 66 relics. Personally, I am not a Route 66 fanatic, so I don't really care to see a bunch of boring old worn out stuff. I only want to see the cool old worn out stuff! Thank goodness for the internet.

Here are a few gems I've found:

-A wild-west theme park in ruins

-A giant meteor crater

-Cadillac Ranch, of course

-A huge pair of legs

I'm really hoping I'll be able to post on here from the road, so if you're lucky, this blog will be a little more interesting for a while. Otherwise, you can come by our place and enjoy the scrapbook I make after we get back!

Woohoo! I can't WAIT!
