Due to Popular Demand....

Due to popular demand (well, demand of a few specific friends who mean a lot to me), WE'RE BACK! Tomorrow we embark on a monumental journey from Gilbert to our ultimate goal of Carbondale, Illinois for Sonya and Jason's wedding. This journey will last two weeks (YIKES!) and is a road trip across the central part of America. Our first stop will be in Albuquerque tomorrow night, where I hope to meet up with a few friends to start the fun. After that, I believe it's Oklahoma City and then St. Louis. We're going to spend a few days in St. Louis soaking up the history and sites, and then on to Carbondale for the Special Occasion. After that, it's Chicago for a few days and then to Mount Rushmore. After the beauty of the Badlands, we're heading to Leadville to see where we're from. I can't wait to see the sites and learn the history. The Boy is excited! If you have any suggestions on places to see and/or eat, leave them in comments. My goal is to update this daily, but we'll see.

After the trip, I'm home for two weeks and then off to Atlanta for a conference. I will be posting from there, so I don't forget what I learn. I am going to meet my family in Baltimore on the 30th and then we're off to Washington, D.C. for the next day of site seeing (and possibly seeing some AZ family). Then, it's an East Coast Scott Reunion over the 4th of July weekend. We'll post then, too. We're hitting up Monticello, Jamestown and other sites that started the U.S. It'll be a wonderful contrast to England and seeing what we did to start our country. Hope you check in often and leave comments. If I'm not posting, let me know that you want me to, and I will! I'm also going to have Cameron (the Boy) keep a travel journal on the site to get his writing skills up to par. Love you all, thanks for your patience.
