Holy Cow!!! Sounds like an incredible vacation. 5000 miles!- why, I would need to have my tires rotated again after that.
It all looks so fun and has me looking forward to about 5 years down the road... no nappers, sippy cups, etc.
And I am SO upset we didn't go to the Hunt reunion. I didn't know about it until it was too late. We were in Bear Lake exactly 12 hours before you were all meeting in Idaho. A great opportunity missed.
