A Slice of America!

This is exciting!

My eldest daughter (she is going to just love THAT term!) and I have talked about taking a road trip for a couple of years now. Things kept coming up that put it off. We are back on again, we will see if it happens this time!

The initial plan is to go up the coast from the San Francisco Bay Area up to Port Townsend, WA (beautiful little Victorian town and my sister lives there). From there head west by way of Yellowstone to Sioux City, Iowa (we have lots of relatives in that area). Then head back by way of the Grand Canyon to home. Drawn on the map it looks like a slice of American pie, thus the name! We are planing taking time and seeing lots of things and have lots of adventures, as well as, painting lots of pictures on the way!

We will start this American Pie trip in June 2010 and we are having lots of fun planning it. We may be quite a sight with a little caravan going down the road. At this point, we will have one car, one van, 3 adults, 3 children. But we are starting to gather others for parts of the trip. Can't wait.

I plan to journal our travels on this blog so you will be hearing more as time goes on!

The first night we know for sure at this point we will be camping at Humbolt State Park along the Avenue of the Giants. The Giants are Coastal Redwoods creating a beautiful forest along the California coast all the way up to Oregon.
