On the road again!

Sunday, October 21
After 14,022 miles and 106 days on the road we spend the last 6 days at our house in Berryville. We caught up on weeding our flowerbeds, doing laundry, cleaning the RV, and having fun. However, today brought a new direction. We headed out once again on our adventure, so I’ll call today day 107. Today was a long driving day as we covered about 450 miles and made it to southern South Carolina. For our 106 day trip, I can’t think of one significant item we forgot. However, for this 7 day trip, we have managed to forget some important items. First and foremost is baby wipes. Nobody should go on any roadtrip without babywipes regardless of whether or not you have someone in diapers. Just think of the hassle years ago when people had to carry water and papertowels and make their own wipes on an as needed basis. The second item we forgot was towels. We discovered this as the kids were going to the pool tonight at the campground. It might make showering interesting tomorrow…… I told Bailey that she may not want to go to the pool because she wouldn’t have a towel. Her comment was, "I’ll just dry off in the sun". That was only made funny by the fact that it was 8 pm at night and the sun had gone down over an hour earlier. The third item we forgot is Bailey’s baby doll. You see, we carried that baby doll with us all across the US and it provided needed comfort each night. However, Bailey was sad tonight to learn that her favorite baby doll is sleeping at our yellow house (Bailey’s term for our fixed home-the one on the concrete pad). Tomorrow we’ll travel to Titusville, Florida, which is our home base for the Space Shuttle launch. By the way, at least one family took us up on joining us down for the shuttle launch and possibly a second family that resides in Florida that we meant in Maine. Oh, I almost forgot. One noteworthy event for the day was listening to a Bill Cosby cd that we picked up from Sheri’s Dad’s collection. I almost had to pull over I was laughing so much. The whole family was laughing like crazy at his comedy sketches.
