For those of you who may be wondering what it may be like to experience a 3,200 mile road trip with 6 young kids........
Nature, enough to remind Peter that he could use his own little "nature walk"
Many Family photo opts - oops!
On-the-go changing table and a dashboard full of useful items
A very experienced trail guide
20 ft. Yurt, yes-electricity, no-plumbing
Kid friendly shopping
Entertaining hosts
Rural roadside fruit stands and U-pick farms
What a fun trip! Your pictures make me a little homesick. There's nothing like a hike along a pine needle strewn path in the forests of the northwest.
ReplyDeleteThere was a Campbell reunion at the yurt village five years ago. Did you try taking a shower? You need to stick your hand out and put another quarter in every minute.

That is so funny! This place had tokens for 5 minute showers. The only problem was James was so freaked out by the banana slugs on the trail to the potty.
ReplyDeleteReally, you are the most amazing person I know! What great memories and it all looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI remember a few drives out to Utah when we lived in the East with 14 kids and the time we stopped at Mc Donalds on the way and ordered 40 hamburgers. It was a killer for nerves but never to be forgotten

Nicole - I have to admit that Paul was the amazing one on this trip. He did all the driving and I just napped and knitted. But it was definitely memorable.
ReplyDeleteDad - I think the number was 50 and we pulled aside and parked as they delivered them out in a couple of waves. Mom also taped pictures of the pioneers to the ceiling of the car so we could realize it wasn't so bad to be in van for a couple of days.
Cute picture of the three-year-old girl cousins.
