Welcome to my blog!

Hello and welcome to my blog.

My main motive for starting this blog in the first place was that my family was planning a trip to Alaska this summer and I was going to keep a weblog so that family and friends could read about out trip. We decided that Alaska is to far to travel from Phoenix with 6 kids and a camper. (Technically, our rig is known as a "travel trailer." I hate the word "trailer." I don't even want to think of myself as a weekend resident of a trailer, so I have renamed the thing a "camper." The kids always look at me cockeyed with a what-are-you-talking-about look on their face when I say this. They never fail to follow up every reference to the camper with "do you mean the trailer?" I'm losing the battle.

So whatever you want to call it, camper or trailer, we now own it, and in it we will take a two week trip this summer with the kids. As of yet we do not really know where we are going. We do, however know when we are going. We are planning to leave Phoenix somewhere around the first of July. Keep an eye on this blog for further entries.
