GO!!!!

Oh my goodness.  What a day preparing to leave.  All the packing, and cleaning.  It's 9:30 p.m. Saturday and Jeff and I are both exhausted.  I think we've thought of everything.  Still working on the last of the laundry. We just need to load up our clothes and the perishable food. We plan to leave around 10:00 a.m.   Got to get to Ft. Stockton before the Spurs game starts at 7:00 p.m.!!  The girls are getting really excited about the trip.  I don't think they really realize the distance we are going.  They seem to think that Alaska is just a few days away.  I told them tonight that "it's the journey, not the destination" and we need to enjoy each day.

Here we go! 

Our neighbor Theresa took our picture before we headed out (Thank you Theresa!)  We got going at 10:15 a.m. - just about right on schedule.  Didn't have to turn around for any forgotten items either - hooray!
