Day 1

Day 1 of life on the road!

The trip to Poinsett State Park was uneventful except for the part where the fridge flew open on a turn, dumping (and breaking) numerous jelly jars and spilling raw chicken juice all over the floor. No big deal. It only took Julie an hour or so to clean up while we all watched. Just kidding! Mostly.

Julie is currently organizing the new house. We mistimed our packing over the past two weeks and had to leave in a hurry yesterday. That resulted in us cramming things wherever they'd fit. It is creating a bit of work for us (well, Julie) today.

I know what you are thinking. I promise I'm contributing!

First of all, I drove the house here. This thing doesn't move itself! I also turned the heat on. That doesn't sound like a big deal, but Julie is afraid to touch buttons right now (she'll get there), so if it were up to her, it would still be cold in here. See, I'm helpful.

Also, my task today is to register all of the warranties for the various components in here. You think there's a warranty for the RV proper that covers everything inside? That would be nice, but you'd be mistaken. There is a stove warranty, an A/C warranty, a fridge warranty, a bed warranty, a macerator warranty (look it up), and so on. I have pack of probably 20 manuals to go through, looking for those that require me to do something to activate the warranty.

In the meantime, the kids want to watch a DVD. Has anyone seen the remote?

Food

As we traveled the country, we tried to experience local culture. We didn't have much time in each location, so we thought that one of the best ways to do this quickly was to partake of local foods. Therefore, in addition to our National Park theme , we also had a "local food" theme. As we hit each state, we ate a food famous in that state. Just an example; we didn't go off of this map We quickly came to realize that this is a very subjective endeavor. Before we started, I ignorantly assumed that each state would have one or two "famous" foods, making the selection process easy. Not true. First of all, most of what shows up on lists of foods by state is hardly "famous." It's more like "foods you will definitely find in this state and may or may not find elsewhere." Some states have a dozen such foods or more. Many states have the same "famous" foods (there is a lot of crossover with fruit and beef). Second, much of this food...

Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have officially entered the Pacific Ring of Fire. Well, we've technically been in it for the past few months while in California, but none of the parks we've been to have been related... until now. Starting with Lassen, we're about to hit multiple parks built around volcanos. Other than Mt. Saint Helens and that one in Hawaii that never stops, I would have been hard pressed to name another volcano that erupted in this country... ever. But sure enough, Mount Lassen erupted numerous times between 1915 and 1921, doing quite a bit of damage to the surrounding area (there is a section near the mountain called "the devastated area," which is humorous because it's all grown back and looks perfectly normal now). We've had remarkably good weather for our park days, but as you can probably tell from the picture above, that luck ran out at Lassen. I'm guessing a lot of it had to do with us being at elevation, but the entire day was chilly and foggy. If we look...

My Family's House (by Jordan)

-
It all started out with our adoption. We've been waiting for about 3 years to adopt a child. When my dad put the house on Zillow someone's wife wanted to buy it in 10 minutes. But the husband promised his wife a pool. So they didn't buy the house. There were a few others that I can't remember. But finally Melissa and Tim stepped up! They bought the house. We left March fifth. Tim and Melissa have a daughter named Brook. We are on March sixth now and we are enjoying our time at Poinsett State Park!
