Trip Itinerary

We're getting ready for the biggest family trip of our lives - from Wilmington, Delaware, to Yellowstone and Grand Canyon National Parks, and lots of wonderful points in between. The trip will take 28 days, half of which will be spent getting to where we're going - averaging 450 miles - and half of which will be spent playing and exploring some of the most beautiful spots in the country.

The van and the trailer have been serviced, and AAA has made us up a Trip Tik package. We've been washing clothes, sheets, and towels - cleaning the van and the trailer out, and making lists for clothing, games, and food. We leave Monday morning, July 20, and plan to return on Monday, August 17.

There have been lots of last minute things to do at church, but Ruthann DeJuliis, our great friend and Pastor of Congregational Care at Skyline, will be preaching and providing pastoral care in our absence, and we know that together with Pat Foster, our Admin. Asst. and many great lay leaders at Skyline, we can relax and enjoy every moment of the trip.

All the reservations have been made at the dozen places we plan to overnight, and we're on track to pack and launch on schedule. We have lots of room for pictures and videos, friends have given the kids travel journals, and we plan to keep this blog updated throughout the course of our adventure.
