Nearly 600 miles traveled today. Only 1 lost pen in the seat, a handful of snacks on the car floor, and one crabby moment at a rest stop in 100 degree heat. I call that a big win. Chris drove most of the time today with me jumping in for a mere 100 miles. The kids were completely entertained with movies, writing in their travel journals, games, and trying to find a license plate from every state. One of the highlights was our lunch in Pendleton, Oregon. We pulled off the freeway into Hal’s Hamburgers. Yelp told us it was a decent place to stop and we were all happy with the old fashioned burgers, fries, and milkshakes. From there, it was a straight shot into Twin Falls and everyone has crashed. Me too! Good night!

Hello Fellow Travelers! I thought about your family all day, and could not wait to get home to see if there’d be anything on your blog. 600 miles is a fantastic start, wow, terrific accomplishment. I enjoyed looking at the outline of your trip too, comparing it to our family’s last trip across our great country. You have so may great adventures ahead, and I can’t wait to hear all about it in person in a month!
Safe travels to an amazing family,
“Mr. Gaston” 🙂
