Off to New England

To borrow a phrase from Willie Nelson....

"We're on the road again. Here we are back on the road again. Our friends and family think we've lost our minds, but then, we can't wait to be on the road again!"

The Holland extended family crew is back on the road this summer, and while we saw a lot of corn in 2007, we expect this trip will be marked by lots of traffic.

We have headed north for three weeks, with a northern-most destination of Bar Harbor, Maine. On the first day (yesterday) we made it all the way to Annapolis, Maryland, with few complaints. Even the campground is fairly decent. I don't know if we've just lowered our expectations or if the "new" of traveling has just worn off or if I am just a little more excited about our itinerary, but it seems that we just got in the car and took off this time. No drama, no nothing, just gassed up and went.

That said, my mother spend two weeks cooking ahead of time, and Cheryl bought new tires and a vanity plate for her pull-behind camper, so I'm sure someone put in some work before we piled in.

This year, we should be posting a lot more, as I have an Alltel wireless internet connection. No more connecting in the laundry room, middle of a field, or at the mercy of a coot in the middle of nowhere. Where is the fun in this trip???? It's only the second day... I'm sure there's an overnight in a Wal-Mart parking lot somewhere in our future.

It's time to shower our dirty children. I will post pictures from our day in GORGEOUS Annapolis, MD tomorrow.
