The Night Before

13/7/2014

It is the night before our family adventure. Kris and Ethan are asleep and Summer just came in to my little office and hopped in my lap and we had a talk and then I sent her to bed. Tomorrow we load up Kris's car and drive to Dallas, Texas to prepare for our big adventure to the Rocky Mountains. The kids have never seen mountains, not the size of the Rockies, and we have rented an RV in Dallas and pick it up Tuesday and then drive northwest to Colorado. We will weave our way through the state, then northward to Wyoming. Being native Mississippians, and it being mid July, we are looking to go to the cooler elevations... for two weeks.

I suggested the RV trip to the mountains and a cooler climate to take the place of going to Disney World in Florida this fall.  Ethan is not yet 6 and Summer is three months into being 7 and Disney, to me, is nothing but an international human zoo that I would love to eternally avoid.  What better trip to plan in its place than a camper drive to the least person-per-square-mile state in the lower 48 of America.  I am glad the family went for it.  No Disney this year makes Daddy a happy camper.  I wonder what I will pull off next year to nix Disney again?

We are hardly packed, but we can only put so much in Kris's car.  We are looking forward to the roomy RV and the adventure that awaits us.  We really have no structured plans for the trip.  Kris has a few friends up there to visit and Greg Harkins gave me some money to take the kids fishing at a trout outfit.  Other than that, we are winging it and going to look at mountains and make our way to the south side of Yellowstone and the Tetons.  Pictures will be posted.  If you can find the RV dealer in Dallas and stow away successfully, you are welcome to join us, but we will insist that you bring matches for the toilet/shower quarters.
