Pictures of our Travels

We are on the road

Wednesday:

6:30 am - rise and shine! Today we finally head to Texas to the Baby Conference! We have been waiting for this trip for months.

7:30 am - We are leaving to go pick up the motorhome! Children are all eating breakfast and tidying their rooms.

8:30 am - arrive to pick up motorhome. Eddie was still getting a few last minute things repaired. Eddie is a neat Christian man and father of five. Andrew and Eddie had a great time chatting.

10:30 am - finally got everything finished. Andrew and I stop at McDonalds and grab a bite to take on the road, as neither of us took time to eat breakfast.

11:45 am - home to load everything into motorhome. Twelve people, clothes for seven days, food for fifteen meals, a double stroller, cameras, laptops, stuffed animals, blankets, pillows, sheets, towels, etc.

12:30 pm - on the road, gassed up and driving!

2:00 pm - beds made, everything put away in cupboards, little ones napping, older ones watching Roy Rogers on DVD.

5:30 pm - stop for gas and eat pulled pork sandwiches and pasta salad in the motorhome. Back on the road....

9:00 pm - stop for gas, cup of coffee for Andrew and a Dr. Pepper for me! Call KOA in Denham Springs to make a reservation. Will be nice to take a shower, plug in for water and electric. Motorhome has done great except the step won't retract when we close the door; boys will fix it tomorrow. Little ones are in bed and the big ones are watching Facing the Giants with me...I love that movie:)

Texas Here We Come

Tomorrow we are heading to San Antonio, Texas. Our family will be attending the Baby Conference put on by Vision Forum Ministries. I will be blogging live from the conference for anyone that is interested.

Here are our plans....

Wednesday - pick up motorhome, drive as far as we can...Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana

Thursday - drive from Louisiana to San Antonio, Texas. We will check in at the KOA campground and then head over to the Henry B Gonzales Convention Center to register. At 6:00 pm we will hear the opening messages of the conference entitled "The Long War Against Babies" and "The Wonders of Embryology".

I will be posting pictures and notes as the week goes on. If any of you are also attending the conference send me a quick email and we will meet up!
