The start of our Crater Lake adventure

Get ready for a plethora of Crater Lake posts! I will release them one by one so you'll have something new to read each time you check in. :o). I'll probably also do other current posts in between. May be a little confusing so try to keep up. :o)

First day--last Friday. After a not-TOO-late night, Marcus and I woke up early Friday morning, finished packing up, and got the kids ready to go. They were so excited that the big day was finally here! We had all been talking about our trip for so long, it was hard to believe it was happening. The van was packed up tight but not because we over-packed but mostly because of two things: first, the kids were allowed to fill a backpack or bag each but somehow they managed to bring along even more. Second, we brought along a large cooler and a lot of food, and that took up space.

We got on the road around 9am and all met at Brian & Nicole's house. Then on the road down south, with a stop at Subway for lunch:

We made it! We all unpacked and then relaxed a little before dinner:





Friday night was our turn on KP. Marcus had made gumbo and cornbread at home, so he just had to cook some noodles and voila we had dinner! Bourbon Blonde Brownies for dessert, yum.
