CHICAGO
Home of the Brookfield zoo, the best pizza I have ever eaten and our good friends the Zortmans who moved here from New York last Spring. We camped in their yard in Schaumberg. Our kids hit it off like they had never been apart.

Kirtland Ohio

Kirtland Ohio. September is such a great month to travel. No crowds, perfect weather. We had personal guides at the Kirtland visitors center (sister Leavitt) and at the Kirtland temple.

Finally the road trip pictures!

Day 1

So we decided to buy a pop up trailer and pack up the kids for a road trip across the country! The trailer was bought "damaged"(hence a good deal)" and Jon somehow fixed the canvas on our ancient sewing machine it did put us 2 days behind, but it was all part of the adventure.

Here we are at the begining of what would end up being an 8,126 mile road trip. Classic Americana- camper, s'mores, national parks, everyone needs to do this at least once in their life!
