Road Trip

Tomorrow we are off on our summer road trip. We are heading for Mackinac Island and Traverse City Michigan. I have never been to Michigan unless you count the Detroit airport but I don't think that really counts. I am excited to g some place new.

I have only been on 2 road trips in my life. One was in college to visit my roommate in Portland, Oregon. So my friend and I drove for twelve hours or so and it was less than fun. In fact at times it was miserable because we took her car and it was a stick shift and I don't drive a stick shift.

My second road trip came when we moved from California to Wisconsin. It was me, my hubby and our dog Sebastian. We had to plan out ahead where we would stop because of Sebastian. We had to make sure that we found dog friendly hotels along the way. We were told to check out www.petswelcome.com and it was awesome. We could look up cities and then pet friendly accommodations in those cities. Because we had Sebastian, it took us a little longer than it should have but we wanted to stop and see things on the way.

We stopped in Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, and Minnesota. We went to Rocky Mountain National Park and we got to walk around at the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City. They let us bring Sebastian inside the grounds but I had to carry him. Unfortunately at Rocky Mountain National Park, we weren't allowed to let him out of the car so we just drove around.

This will be my third road and this time it is just me and the husband. I am excited and hope I don't get too bored in the car. I bought snacks for the road and am trying to get packed. I still have to get the dogs packed up for their mini vacation at the vets office. They will be well taken care of but we will miss them for sure. I am hoping to blog some while gone and will try and post some pics too.

In adoption news: Some of my forum family received word today that they made it through court. YEAH!! Now we just need to see some birth certificates and travel dates.
