Road trip adventures - part 1

Our road trip adventure began today. Here are a few of the things that I've already discovered:

1. My family is slower at packing than a herd of turtles (if that's a thing).
2. My dog is NOT a good travelling companion.
3. Top speed of our van towing a trailer? 55 or 60 MPH max.
4. Because of said top speed, it takes sooooo much longer to get everywhere.
5. My children can eat. A lot.
6. My husband put a ton of work into getting the van ready for this trip.
7. We have awesome friends that loaned us the camper.
8. When going to a campground, make a reservation. You may get there to find that it's full.
9. If said campground is full, you may have to drive another 2 hours (see #3) to get to the next one. However, when you get there, things will run smoothly, the pool will be open until long after you've set up, and there's a promise of free pancakes and waffles in the morning.

Hopefully the dog will be a better travelling companion tomorrow and we will reach our Florida destination in a timely manner (see #3 again!).

Night all!
