Let the road trip begin!


Woo hoo! Theo and I are on our way... on a circuitous route to the Grand Canyon to visit friends and explore new territory along the way. So we left the eye-popping spring of coastal carolina and headed west. Got as far as Camp Creek State Park in West Virginia today. Peaceful spot, and look at these beauties that Theo and I saw on our walk once we arrived...

I was telling a friend of mine about the trip, and mentioning Theo's ambivalence. He wants to be with me (his pack) but isn't too excited about being in Max (the camper van) with all of its gurgling and clanking noises... I keep hoping he'll get used to it!

So my friend suggested that I include a blog from Theo's point of view. Brilliant! So now I will try to accommodate his take on the situations that arise... a la Travels with Charlie (sort of - if you don't know what I'm talking about, its a book by John Steinbeck)...

Anyhow, so my take on the day is "Woo Hoo! Off on another adventure!" And Theo was on the bed in the back of Max thinking "What the !@#$$%% is she making me do now?" i have to get bumped around in this clanging, rattling thing for hours on end? And for what? Oh... a long lovely walk in the mountains ( not bad) and oh! some yummy dinner morsels by the picnic table, and now a belly rub on the bed (that is decidely NOT moving) well, I'll go to sleep and think about it...

Cute!! Hope it's a really wonderful trip for both you and Theo. By the way, Theo needs to have his picture in the blog when he does his posting. :o)
