We took an epic family roadtrip / tour of several National Parks this summer.
Vital stats:
- 3,102 miles
- 27.5 mpg in the new van
- 8 states
- 2 lost teeth
- 3 nights camping
- 7 hotel pools
- 3.5 audio books
- 5 National Parks
- 48 state license plates (everyone but NH and RI!) plus 6 Canadian provinces and 1 Mexican state
- $4,016 spent (including $387.28 on gas, $1,752.02 on hotels, $1,179.03 on food)
When we got home, I asked everyone what their favorite part was.
James: Getting home
Leah: Camping
Amelie: Badlands
Dad: Mount Rushmore
Mom: Wildlife (& the kids getting along!)
Sam made (and typed, and bound, and tabbed) an itinerary for us before we left:
I was tasked with sorting out the dog for while we were gone, and plans A & B fell through & he wound up with Holly!
Here's the new van all loaded up & ready to go - the tent & some other camping supplies are down below the suitcases.
