The Road Trip has OFFICIALLY begun.

So we are in Chi Town arrived late last night well more like early this morning and since we drove from Seguin to Chicago I would say that means our road trip has begun!!

We are in Chicago for a few days to visit my family, attend the May party and get G packed up and moved out. 

Poor YaYa all crammed in the back, she had a little nesty a built in there.  The television was way larger that eyeballed and did not fit across as we had anticipated .  And since it is a plasma and can’t be laid flat we had to put in it at an angle yet still leave room for someone to sit in the back … it was almost a bad deal. 

But we fit and since there were 3 of us we just keep on trucking all night long with just a few pit stops along the way for fuel and food. 

We drove through 4 states, in 20 hours with 5 stops for fuel and food and bladder relief. We will be in Chicago now for 3 or 4 more days.  Have some friends here to see and spend time with.  The May party (woo hoo) tomorrow and a trailer to unpack and 2 cars to pack before continuing our trek west.

If you have any great idea’s for places to see / things to do on your trip please let me know.  I would love to hear from you. Until next time …

And we are off...

So the trailer is packed and already on its way to Chi Town, the car is packed and ready to hit the road tomorrow after the move out house inspection.  I contemplated moving the walk thought time till after the party next week and just having my roommate do it, but I thought better and decided to do it myself so that nothing eventually falls back on me that was not my issue and same for my roommates.  I will say this, I am not nervous this time.  When I left Iowa to come to Texas I was terrified and a bit heartbroken this time I am just excited about the future.  I have a job interview lined up for a team leader position back working in social services and I am so pumped.  G is signed up for school, we have temp housing in place and funds saved up have a deposit on a new one in September. 
We also have a great trek planned out, seeing a lot of sites and camping along the way.
Chicago to see family & finish packing G
Iowa to see my friends for 2 days
Mount Rushmore
Custer State Park (I can't wait to see baby buffalo)
Yellow Stone for 2 days of camping & hiking

• The Tetons
• Old Faithful
• some warm craters

I don't know when I will have things set up again to start writing, so until them take care all.
