So far the trip has been really fun and relaxing. Getting ready for the trip was so exhausting that when the time came to leave, I was even more ready to get underway.

Some of my highlights so far have been the trip back to PC. My college years were tremendous. I loved the friends, my classes, the professors, the campus and or course playing basketball and volleyball. It was so much fun to reconnect with some of the people there after being gone for such a long time. The campus was beautiful. To me it has the look and feel of what every campus should possess. I love the cohesive architecture and the walking campus. I like the friendly people and the college-town feel of Clinton.

My former basketball coach is now the mayor of Clinton as well as his many other roles at PC. He welcomed us all to the campus. Andrew actually “interviewed” him with video camera in hand. It was cute. Andrew was so impressed with the college that I could see him choosing a similar campus.

Another highlight has been watching Andrew and Rebecca connect with their friends and family back home through Facetime, Video Chat, email, blogs, and traditional phone calls. Technology is making all of this a little easier. We bought the kids IPhones before we left. That was a good investment for sure. We love this adventure, but it was also hard to leave home.

Andrew is having fun with the blog while Rebecca is keeping an art journal. It’s beautiful. Maybe I’ll find a way to post some of her drawings. Andrew’s writing is a lot more exciting to read than mine…I’ll just make a guest appearance every once in a while. Who knows, you may also hear from Rebecca and David.

The Rapids Jam concert is a lot of fun. Last night we saw Willie Nelson, Jamey Johnson and others. Of course the kids liked people watching as much as anything. There were some funny characters out there. Tonight we’ll see 6 artists including Darius Rucker and Sugarland. Tomorrow night the headliner is Lady Antebellum. On Father’s Day, we’ll pack up camp and head to The Outer Banks.

One thing about this RVing, David has the brunt of the work. He drives, he sets up camp and for the last two nights he has grilled out. Okay, so I could get used to this!

Thanks for tuning in….Becky
