Officially one month and 17 days on the road so far!

We have had a blast (mostly) ;)

We went from D.C. to Monticello and took a tour of Thomas Jefferson’s plantation (which was beautiful) and then walked around the grounds.  Afterwards we started our trip up to Michigan to see our family and to celebrate our Uncle and Aunts 50th wedding anniversary!  On the way we stayed a few days at a nice RV park and had to make one stop at a mechanics shop. Later that day I took the kids to the park and there was a fun train they played on, they had a blast!

We had an awesome time while we were in Michigan. We also went to our Uncle Steve’s island.  He is renovating the house and boat house.  It is really beautiful! (Uncle Steve even let Joseph and I drive the pontoon boat!) We stayed in Michigan for 3 days and had a lot of fun with our family. Afterwards started our trip south, I just now realized that we are 1,050 miles form home!

We stopped at a Target and a Kroger’s (to get some much needed fresh food) then Timothy, Joseph and Dad went to the National Air Force Museum for a few hours and I stayed with mom, put the food away and did some picture sorting/blogging while Elaina and Christianna napped. Later that evening we went to an RV park to spend the night.

June 11th:

We were going to go to the creation science museum but then decided that it would be better to just relax, rest, take showers and go tomorrow. I really cant wait to see the museum it should be a lot of fun! (for the people that know of the Duggars (click here to see their web site) this is the same museum that they went to)  Right before dinner Dad and I took the kids to the park and they had a lot of fun and then after that Dad and Joseph went fishing in the lake.

I am writing this while dad is driving and mom is answering a few emails and the little ones are asleep. We had such a great time today! if any of you are going to go to Ohio, you NEED to make sure that the Creation Museum is a full day stop for your family. (Here is their web site) We learned so much and were amazed at all they had to offer. It was a great experience!

June 13th:

Good Morning! This KOA was REALLY nice! They have this big jumping pillow, a park and most nights they play an outdoor movie, last nights was Open Season. Joseph and I rode our bikes all over the campground and through the nature trails. For dinner we made a fire and had steak and some hot dogs (all beef, naturally) chips, salsa, fire-cooked potatoes and onions, and then the best part, S'MORES! yum,yum!

June 14th:

Dad decided to stay here one more day, which I am very excited about. I rode my bike all around then we had lunch. Once Timmy, Elaina, Christianna and Victoria went for their naps Dad and Joseph went fishing. Mom just started beef stew, and it smells amazing! Keep checking back for updates! 

God Bless,

The 8 Browns,

Jim, Monica, Weston, Joseph, Timothy, Christianna, Elaina and Victoria :-)
