10 Days and Counting!

10 days to go!  We are excited and a little frenzied trying to get everything ready.  I've been making lists... lists for take along items, things to do before we leave, loose ends to tie up.  How soon is too soon to pack???  One more trip to Walmart, to the grocery store, to the bank... hahaha!  I've honed the itinerary until it can be honed no more.  Reservations are all set in our destination spots. 
 
I've been preparing notebooks for the girls to take along.  They have maps and activity pages, and pockets for saving things.  The older girls also have research information about geology, geography and our living history destinations.  They can earn money for souvenirs by reading extra books.
 
Well, we took the plunge and bought an Atwood 3500 Heavy Duty Power Jack!  It is really great and makes a huge difference in hitching and leveling the trailer.  There are a few more things I still need to figure out, trailer wise.  What, oh what shall we do with our laundry?  We anticipate having to do laundry every 3rd day or so. But in the meantime, where shall we put it?  Also, we'd like to get some stable tv tray type tables to add some surface area inside the trailer.
 
Overall, we cannot wait to hit the road!
