Packing for our trip

Leaving at 5:00 AM for our annual roadtrip. Spent the day trying to pull it all together and clean the buckets of sand out of my car, a few boogie boards, a wet towel, and 5 bottles of sunblock. If anyone is looking for their sunblock it was probably in my car. The car was not only starting to look like the beach but it had that beachy smell to it too . . . I was convinced there was a piece of seaweed in there somewhere, but I haven't found it . . . yet! Once it was all cleaned out we had to repack it with buckets of roadtrip junk. It's amazing how much stuff we think we need each year . . . equally amazing is the amount of stuff we do actually need each year. We're heading all the way across again this year ~ I'm still feeling that somewhere down the road I may regret commiting to the cross country trip again. Honestly it's such a long drive. I have new brakes, shocks and 4 new tires! Cole and I were testing out the headphones today, I left the car on and ended up with a dead battery! I didn't visualize the first picture for our trip to be one of us with jumper cables so I restrained from taking the photo. I'm going to try to make a blog post every night when we stop, Cole and Jacquelyn also promised to make blog posts along the way.

We're trying a new blog format this year, I already miss my mac roadtrip blog format I used last year, but I'm ready to try something new.
We're heading east tomorrow and into the desert. I still have a lot of packing to do . . .
