I am the proud gramma of a beautiful 10-year- old girl named Hailee. Her Pappa and I started this site so she can follow us as we travel throughout different states on our vacations. Now that she is older and we are able to travel the country with her, this will be a site for all of our friends and family to join us on our adventures throughout the USA

Road trip in the planning.

Getting all our maps and tour books in order for our trip. Only 45 more days to go!!!!!! We got a bit of bad news today, we will be unable to take our van on the trip. Apparently, there is a problem with the transmission and our mechanic advises us to take the truck. Carl wanted to take the truck originally, but it only get 8 miles in the city and 13 miles to the highway. Oh my gosh, can you image the cost for the gas on a 2800 mile trip.

Sorry to hear that the transmission is a problem at this time. Have you checked into a rental that might give you better mileage?
45 days will go by fast and you will be on your exciting journey.
