Today we left for our family vacation to Colorado in the Fleetwood Mac. Actually it is a 1994 Fleetwood camper that Justin got a ‘killer deal’ on. This is our first time vacationing in a camper and being out-doorsey.
We were supposed to leave at 9:00 a.m. and finally made it out of the house at 9:40. We forgot a booster seat for Blake and decided to stop at Grandma and Grandpa’s house to pick up one of theirs. We pulled in and scraped the top of the Fleetwood with a tree branch but thankfully didn’t put a hole in it! Of course everyone was at work so we didn’t even get the seat from the house. We stopped at Grandma’s work in Roseville and got the seat from her van. At 10:30 we were FINALLY on the road for real and the Fleetwood starting shaking like crazy. At this point we were only 30 miles from home!! Thankfully after slowing down and nearly coming to a stop the shaking miraculously fixed itself.
11:50 we make a stop at Walgreens in Peoria to pick up a prescription we about forgot.
Noon: Madison and Blake are fighting and Madison claims “This is the worst vacation ever!”
We finally met up with Justin’s brother, Jake, to have lunch with him for his birthday. At 1:40 we were on the road to Springfield to have documents apostilled for the adoption. We arrive at 3:05 and by 4:10 all 25 of our documents were done! We made it to the post office in time to get them set off to World Links in Pennsylvania. By 4:40 we were not only on the road again, but actually headed west! Madison had also decided she was done fighting with Blake for awhile and was helping him learn his colors. At 11 p.m. we stopped in Fairview, Kansas at a rest area and slept for the night. It was a first for all of us!
Before leaving home...
A little snack! Yummmm!
Blake says, "This trip make me so happy!"
