13. Drive to White River Junction, Vermont (note to producers: Vermont will be a new state, so urination scene is necessary)

Once again, neat pictures, neat message, very neat trip! Thanks for taking the time to blog so that so many of us (even many who are not leaving comments) can enjoy the experience you all are having. You are building memories that will continue to bless you all for the rest of your lives (I would refer to our trip to CA in the summer of '78). Do all you can afford, stay as long as you can, and continue to love one another as you obviously are doing. God is good - all the time!
