USA... week three (roadtrip)

On the road...




My parents were so gracious to lend us their minivan for this extensive trip! We have been seriously blessed! By the time we're done, we'll have traveled from OR up through WA, over to SD and MN and over and down to IA. Then down through MO and OK to TX before we head back up through the Grand Canyon to OR! Hah!

We fit perfectly, seven seats, seven passengers. It was somewhat tricky packing for a two month roadtrip for seven people, and have it all fit comfortably in! But we did it! And I brought school stuff!  And we still have leg room!! ;) Woohoo! I'll have to post some packing/traveling tips later, heheh. ;)

Oh, yes! Please do pass on your tips. I am going to need them this summer for a trip! At least we have a 15 passenger van!

What, no WY?? lol... too bad I don't like in Oregon anymore- perhaps you could have waved as you passed by ;)
Hope the entire trip turns out awesome :)

WOW - how did you pack for seven in a minvan and still have leg room? I have to get a bus ready for a years trip around Australia and I am so not sure where everything is going to fit!!! We are also a family of seven (five boys) :)
Would love to know how you managed to pack!
Cheers

I have been wanting to go to the Grand Canyon for years. One of these days, DH and I must plan a road trip!
