Here We Go!!!

Well, we're off!! And our adventure is just beginning! It was A LOT of work and took much time to tedious details, but we finally left San Diego at 7:30pm last night!! We feel like a "turtle" with it's large home on his back! ~ For those of you who have just "tuned in" to our adventure, we are traveling in a 35' RV for the next three months. The RV is my parents' and came fully loaded with just about anything you could need! We added a new flat-screen HDTV in the bedroom and all our personal belongings you could need for a 3-month trek into the fall/winter months of the east coast.

We are taking Nicolas, our 13 year old son and home-schooling him along the way. It was hard to say good-bye to Athan & Alex who are staying back home together and attending college at Miramar and Palomar. I think it was a bit hard for them as well!

We made it as far as Prim, NV and spent our first night on the road in the parking lot of the Prim Valley Resort & Casino! ~ Hey, it was Free!! - and just a place to sleep. We arrived at 1:00am. Vasili did a wonderful job driving this "beast" of a vehicle!

We had a good day of home-schooling on the road. It's going to take some time to get into a routine! We stopped in Mesquite, NV for a yummy lunch at a Casino buffet. And then we made our final stop of the day at Zion West RV park in Leeds, Utah. We are going to sight-see Zion National Park bright and early tomorrow morning. We took a scenic drive this evening and saw beautiful red rock formations and vistas and ended in the town of Springdale which is at the entrance to Zion.

Please stay tuned as we trek along the United States! If you have any suggestions of good places to see, we'd love to hear from you!
