Hey Kids,

It is the day before we embark on our trip to Texas.

I know that many people have made long trips before but in terms of driving; this will be my longest.

24 hours they tell me. 24 hours.

That’s like a whole day!

Anyway, today has been filled with “getting ready”.

I’ve got new shoes, new shorts, new socks, and clean everything else.

I have a rental car that I have no idea how it’ll perform.

I’m traveling with people with whom I’ve never traveled long distance.

I’m going to cross through a state in which I’ve never been.

There’s a lot of news and never-been/done’s.

I’m apprehensive to say the least.

This is what vacation is all about, right?

Right?

Day 229
