Document it with pictures and keep a trip journal (and allow the boys to write about, too!). <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.

Turns out we are taking a five week trip (the boys and I, with my husband joining up for a week) through nine states out west. I am very excited and the planning has been a labor of love. I know you totally get that, since you love travel and trip planning too! <br /><br />If you want to follow along, let me know and I'll find you on FB. I've created a private group that my friends joined to follow along on our trip. <br /><br />Thanks for your contribution to my planning! I hope all is going well with you and Melody. :)Leeannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529722995554495470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073119012671743732.post-82898135115790511212014-02-07T23:26:47.688-05:002014-02-07T23:26:47.688-05:00Hi, Leeann. I'm sorry to hear about your mom....Hi, Leeann. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. We'll keep her in our prayers. I'm glad you liked the post. If there is one thing I'm passion about, travel is it. I love all of the trips I've been fortunate to take, and I love sharing. Thanks for the kind words. I hope you have fun planning your trip. Let me know how it goes.<br /><br />EricEric Freedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077355362215517201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073119012671743732.post-38775925940350789702014-02-07T00:58:58.331-05:002014-02-07T00:58:58.331-05:00Eric, I am just now seeing this.

Fortunately she seems to be pulling through although her recovery will be months long.<br /><br />Let me tell you, this is SO HELPFUL!! I loved reading the descriptions of what you and Melody did and it has helped me to cement the decision to do only a Western loop vs a whole cross country trip. While I've seen a good number of states, I've got a huge gap when it comes to the western part of the country (and a few "fly-over" states.) Furthermore, I just really want to spend that solid chunk of time with the boys before they fly the nest. Once my oldest one graduated from high school last year, it hit me how fast that time is coming.<br /><br />Again, love love love this blog post! Thanks for taking the time to write it. I'm saving it in my "cross country" folder (now incorrectly named, darn it!) for reference as I continue to plan. Thanks, Eric! :DLeeannhttp://niccofive.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
