The Concept!

The plan is to drive around America in an RV visiting as many cool exciting places and experiencing as much of the culture as possible in 6 weeks.
It would be nice to do it without getting lost!...Glenn
It would also be great if we could do it without a backseat driver!...Kate
... and if we could do it without killing each other or our children it would be even better.

Follow our blog to see how we go!!

The Grand Canyon is, well, grand.


So we made it to the Grand Canyon national park RV Park late last night, and were amazed at how much snow is on the ground. The kids and Glenn have just experienced American bacon and eggs. Amazing the difference, the bacon is the bit we throw away at home and the eggs are fluro yellow! Needless to say they thought the less healthy yankee version was yummier! We will see how they feel at the end of six weeks!

As we speak they are outside the RV having a snow ball fight, Glenn is joining in so it will no doubt end in tears!!!

Today we are headed for Roswell to check out some aliens but we think we will probably stop overnight along the way.

The signs of the failing economy are everywhere, the roads are literally falling apart (California was unbelievable) and there are a lot of homeless and poor people, it's sad.

Glenn is in heaven with all the gun stores and has purchased himself an air pistol to keep himself amused! He really is living up to his 'Cletus' name change!!  I've added another wedding pic to provide amplification! He insisted on speaking like Elvis through the whole ceremony - and added in some spontaneous signature dance moves. I thought the kids would die of embarrassment and my cheeks still hurt from trying not to laugh - let's just say the bible basher minister was taking the whole thing a lot more seriously than we were!

Love Kate xo

    UM, that bushy space was the back of the campground...I'm about to post grand canyon pics. Needless to say William spent the whole time covertly (or so he thought) throwing things over the fence! Miss you already, we wish you were at our 'six' in convoy!
