Two Week Countdown to the Big Trip!

Well, two weeks from now we will be on the road for our big 3 week trip. We leave on Saturday, May 2nd, and will likely return on Sunday, May 24th give or take a day. The planning has been a bit insane, but in all likelihood I am "overplanning" a bit, as I tend to do.

The main reason I started this blog is to keep friends and family updated while we are on the trip. My plan is to post updates and pictures throughout the trip so everyone can see what we are up to. We would love to get comments back from everyone too!

Our basic itinerary is as follows: Buffalo, Southern Maine, Boston, Washington DC, Williamsburg, Home. We will be spending the bulk of our time in Boston and DC...one week each. If we get homesick, we may lop Williamsburg off the end of the trip, as we were just there in 2007. We'll see! If you are interested in our basic route, here's a link: Holiday Road 2009 Trip

For those of you calculating in your head, we've budgeted about $1,000 for fuel to cover those 2,676 miles! Still cheaper than flying for a family of 6!
