O.K., so here's the deal. Julie and the kids are upstairs doing their "final preparations" for our trip to the Grand Canyon. IF we survive each other, we might just have the trip of a lifetime. However, tired is what we all are right now, and we haven't even left the driveway. I just returned from Japan last night, where I survived a typhoon AND an earthquake...while Hannah and Ansley just returned from Salkehatchee, a mission week working on substandard housing in rural South Carolina. That left Julie to handle all of the details this week, Marissa to finish working, and Will to attend basketball camp all week. Therefore....we are already TIRED!
BUT......tomorrow is another day. After church tomorrow, the LaneFamJam loads up in the Expedition (dog also!), and we drive from Spartanburg to Nashville. Night two will be in St. Louis, night three in the middle of nowhere Kansas, and nights four and five in Colorado Springs, Co. Pikes Peak, here we come! Then we travel to Mesa Verda, Four Corners, the Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Winslow, Arizona (where we will stand on the corner), Painted Desert, Petrified Forest, Cadillac Ranch, Lubbock Texas, Oklahoma City, and our final night in Memphis, Tennessee. Once again, survival is the key to the trip and we will try to keep you posted. Pray for us.....we will need it.
