My family is an RV family and flying seemed like the easy route (and more expensive route).  We never grew up going to hotels or resorts, we just hooked up the camper and went on our way! We love our camper and if we had decided to fly the 1200 miles of this trip instead of driving, we would have missed out on several things:

.

1. Taking momma’s “scenic” route that ended up being several hours of nothing but trees. We still love her.
2. Overnight stays in Walmart parking lots. Creepy but effective. (Did you know that rv’s are allowed to camp out there?!)
3. Early morning breakfast stops at Mcdonalds….. Northwest Mcdonalds can be a little strange at times!
4. Traveling and working in bed. We start our journey early in the morning and while daddy and Corey drive, I lay in bed and get tons of work done, it’s awesome.
5. Our pit stop to put our feet in lake Michigan…..well I put my feet in, Emy and Corey DOVE in! Crazy kids. It was freezing!

6. We would have missed Emy’s late night comedy routine (she gets loopy when she’s tired)

7. Last but not least, I would have missed out on some awesome time with my sweet family! The only negative part of the whole trip was that Michael couldnt come:( I miss him!

So as we continue our journey home, get excited for some awesome blog posts coming this week!! And pray these roads don’t shake us to death! They are in need of some intense road repair up here!!!
