The First Leg

The First Leg

All right,  you will have to bare with me for the first few posts because I'm new to this whole blogging thing.   I'm copying Amanda (sis in law) and Erinn ( best friend from high school) to keep family and friends in the lower 48 posted on our journey and our Lil man.   

As many of you know,  (big) Floyd is in the army and the army is sending us North to Alaska.   Yeah we might have made the decision but we tried to get out of it after he's been on these orders for 18 months but it just didn't work out .  So here we go....

This first leg will take us to Las Vegas, NV so we can see family!   It's been a year an a half since I got to see our west coast family and I'm excited to see them and have FP3 meet his Nana,  aunties, uncles,  and cousins.  

The trip from Gypsum, KS to Las Vegas,  NV (according to google) is 17hours and we drove straight through.  We left at 7:45cst and arrived at our destination at 12:30pst.  As you can tell it took a lot longer than planned.   We stopped more often and longer so Lil man would go crazy.  

It was a long trip but the weather was great the whole trip.   Now we are going to spend a lot of time with family.  We are going to try to take advantage of the last few days of babysitters and do a little vacation stuff with just the two of us.  

Hope my first blog entry wasn't too bad, it was done on my phone so I'll try to do a little better with the next one.
