The Plan

So here's the plan for moving me from California to Illinois: drive my stuff out there, drive back, then fly out with my cat. My mom and I are going to do the road trip together (leaving July 25th), while my dad and I are going to do the flight with the cat (Sept. 2). I'm so thankful to have good parents to help me get settled in a far-away land. I don't know how I'd do all this without them!

The road trip with my mom is going to be pretty sweet. We'll be taking a week to get there, a week to get moved in, and then a week to come back. We're going to see 7 national parks and 12 states! One of my mom's life goals is to see all of the National Parks, so its great to see so many with her. We're going to see Zion, UT; Bryce Canyon, UT; Arches, UT; Badlands, SD; Wind Cave, SD; Yellowstone, WY; Grand Tetons, WY; (We'll also pop in to see Mount Rushmore, but that's only a national monument). We'll be staying a few nights at two of my grandma's time-shares, one night with friends, a couple nights in motels, a week in my studio, and the rest in tiny camping cabins (that'll be a first for us). I'm excited to get to see so much of America's finest, and am looking forward to the time with my mom. Feel free to check out our map, it zooms in and out (can I just say google maps is awesome?)
