day THREE

This is the beginning of my blog story. A unique story for me - my first trip to the west coast. My family and I will be squeezing into our Dodge caravan and catapulting ourselves across the United States, landing in the dry heart of the west; Nevada. What is in Nevada, you ask? Only the most beautiful ditch in the world.

We left Monday at 4pm and proceeded to drive nonstop, through the night, to Wisconsin. I have driven this stretch so many times in my life, it's not even funny. This has been the third time this year. I was happy to see the regular 18 hour trip shaved down to 14. Now, that's how it's done.

Yesterday we arrived at destination: Little Muskego Lake, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was around 6 am when we pulled into our lot. We ate, set up camp, and went back to sleep. I Awakened at noon totally disoriented and went outside to find that the mosquito population has skyrocketed; there were swarms everywhere. Since then, I've been bathing in repellant. The rest of the day was spent hanging with Nana at the old folks home & enjoying her AC.

Today so far has been a beautiful day. I got up around 5 am because I felt like it. Since then, I've barely moved. That's okay cause I'm out by the lake right now and it's really nice. The rest of the day should be enjoyable too; Next I plan on spending some time in the Word and praying, then I'll go for a jog around the park, and maybe go swimming in the lake if it's sunny by then. Later we'll probably meet up with Nana again and chill with the extended family. Two more days here, then we'll be on the road again. Then the adventure will begin.

home. (for the next 48 hours)
