Epic Vacation, Step 2: Planning

The planning stage has been time consuming! Where to stay, what to see, what to pack, how to keep the kids interested, etc.

Sabrina has created a blog to chronicle our Epic Vacation: mormonhistorytour.blogspot.com. So far, we've had the kids write reports about the different places we'll be visiting along our tour. While we're traveling, we'll update it with what we're seeing.

Google Maps has been my friend. Calculating driving times and routes. It's pretty awesome.

Since first planning this trip, my brother was called to serve as a young performing missionary in Nauvoo. We'll get to see him perform in 2 of the shows there. And my sister got engaged (Congratulations!) and will be married in California on July 23 so our tour is getting longer and from coast to coast, although we won't see either ocean.

We'll be going through 18 states, 1 Canadian province and driving more than 6200 miles. Let's hope our minivan is up for this odyssey.

Probably cheaper to fly to SFO, rent a car & drive east.

The U turn in Calif*, right before 680, is going to be hard on the tires.

Calif* is the last stop before returning to Boise. Gibbyr won't be on that leg of the journey - he'll be at Camp Morrison in McCall instead.

Horrible.
