We made it safely to Utah. It is so nice to be out of the car. My job today is to clean the car, and I mean clean. My dad and I took the seats out last night and I am going to vacuum and shampoo the carpets.

And we're off....

The car is packed, the kids are still asleep (for the moment anyway), the house is a mess, and the dishes aren't done. But, in t minus about 30 minutes, we are off. Grandpa Burnside, Maggie, Kennie, Justin, Nate and I are Utah bound.

Those of you in Utah, we look forward to seeing you! Those of you in Ohio, we will miss you like crazy!

Daddy, we will miss you and look forward to seeing you in 19 days!

Utah details

Here are the details for our Utah trip. The kids and I (along with my dad - what a great guy!) will leave Ohio on Monday, November 17th as early in the am as we can. We should get to Utah late Tuesday night. If we have to push it, we will get there mid day on Wednesday. We should be there no later than the 19th! Aaron will join us Thanksgiving day (hopefully) and we will leave to come back to Ohio probably the afternoon of the 5th just to give us some play time (Aaron has to be to work on the 8th. We will be spending quite a bit of time in Idaho. I will let you know specifics of when we will not be in Idaho as soon as we buy Aaron's plane ticket. We would love to see you if you live in Utah or are going to be visiting around that time.
