As Anyone Seen Our House?

I have a new passion. Actually, my whole family has a new passionate hobby. We are RV shopping! YEA!!

See, there's this humongo road trip coming up. Because our life is not adventurous enough [with four little children and all] we are embarking on what I am endearingly referring to as The Family Fun Humongo Road Trip. The FFHRT is a 6,000+ miles road trip me and the family will be experiencing this summer. Oh yes, you read that right: SIX THOUSAND MILES. Whew. Just typing it feels crazy... lalalalallaaaa.

Here's the deal. We have family all over the gorgeous US of A. So our stops on the FFHRT will include [but are not limited to] Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Arizona, Wyoming and Illinois. Those are our main stops. Most of these stops are about 16 hours from each other. Two full days of driving. With two freshly potty-trained girls and one still-having-the-occasional-accident-boy. Oh and one nursing infant. Yea... lalalalla

You can see the need for a motor home, yes? We could to. A very sane thought in the midst of craziness. God has blessed us and our budget and we believe we can carry a low monthly payment in exchange for sanity on our 6 week FFHRT. [A thousand miles a week; not a bad average really. Hee-hee.] Plus, we are convincing ourselves that we will use it more than once/year and go camping/traveling as a family "just because" and not just to see family who live 2 days or more away.

The past two weeks we have gone RV shopping at every opportunity. So much so, that Little Lela Mae [my almost two-year-old] now shouts "RV!" when we casually mention this or that RV. She is so into it!

The search continues for the perfect house on wheels. The perfect house on wheels in our budget, that is. I'd say our FFHRT is off to a great start!! Yipee!!!!!
