Ready or Not, Here We Come

If days were measured by fatigue, today would be the longest ever. . . who would have thought that getting a family of 7 ready for a 3 week trip would take so much work (and that's with 3 amazing teens who are nearly as tired as I am). . . who would have thought that having your own business would keep you working late the very night before you leave???

We have discovered that when you are tired and under pressure, things can disappear, like wallets, purses, shoes . . . we have also discovered that the 8 suitcases we tested in the back of the van fit much differently loaded . . . it's a bit squishy.

Nevertheless, we are ready for this adventure. Our itinerary is to be in Idaho Falls, followed by Saint George, a quick look at Bryce Canyon before heading to Las Vegas. We will spend 3 nights in San Diego (a day to recover and a day to visit Sea world) before meeting with more of the team and crossing into Mexico. For the next 10 days, we will be helping out wherever needed (house build, daycare, migrant camp, puppets, women's shelter, etc). We will be working with "welcome home outreach" and "new beginnings (Baja)".

We will be traveling down with great family friends (who also have 5 children) and joined by another 4 families. In all, there will be 34 of us working together. Let the adventure begin!
