No, we're not crazy!

As Dan and I work toward wrapping up the current school year, we are also in the process of planning for a major road trip with the kids. In mid-June we will be driving to the East Coast. Our route takes us along I-40 to North Carolina to visit some of Dan's family. After NC, we will spend some time in Washington D.C. before heading to Pennsylvania to visit some of my family. We will take a more northern route home, which is less planned out at this time. People have asked me if I have lost my mind to attempt such a trip with small children. We are actually excited to give this a try. We have family that we are eager to visit, and the whole summer free from work obligations. We plan on taking our time and traveling at a pace the kids can handle. We have chosen to drive for various reasons, including the fact that we want to see more of the country. The good news is that no one is forcing us to do this, so if it's too much to handle, we'll just turn around and come home. We look at it as a great adventure! And hey, with gas prices at an all-time low, what better time for such a grand experiment?
