This marks the start of the second week on the road. Marriage still strong and we are adjusting well to 25 linear feet of living space. Truck doing well, trailer doing well, although a minor wood trim piece in the trailer shook loose. Pesky flies and running out of chocolate chip cookies may be all that can put this expedition into jeopardy.
Taking time to smell the roses is harder than anticipated. Much of the area through Denver we’ve seen before, so we mostly just drove. East of Denver is all new, but at 60+ MPH and no knowledge of what is coming, it is hard to break pattern and explore off the freeway.
Blogging, also, is both harder and easier than anticipated. I’m trying not too successfully to avoid the “what we ate for breakfast” clichés, and concentrate on things that might be of interest, but it is hard. More photos would help—we didn’t even get a picture of Erika and Dan!—so we are trying a little harder. I’m surprised how easily I’m able to put down the words, easier for me than keeping a formal journal; now I need to learn to trim those words, and recognize in real-time when a photo is needed.

Hey Cam and Marcia!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom forwarded me your travel blog. If you need a place to crash in Arlington for a few nights, you know how to reach us! And you can meet our new doggie Penny... she's a real doll!
Love,
Lindsey:)
Thanks Lindsey.
ReplyDeleteWe are already scheduled for several days of recover time at Marcia's sister in Maryland, so we should be OK.
Hope job and life are going well.
