We're a six person homeschooling family--complete with one 62 pound "puppy" and two grumpy part-Siamese cats-- on a cross-country pilgrimmage to a new brand new life (in the dead of winter). Come along for the ride! Is there a Starbucks near here?

Mesa to Holbrook, AZ

We took Rt. 87 to Rt. 277 to Rt. 377 and found the entire route to be smooth. It was an evening drive and we had crystal clear skies.

Holbrook KOA was deserted, except for us, but the bathrooms and showers were still top-notch.



We had Cruise America winterize our second RV, seeing we are headed north and it is the dead of winter. So...no water for the rest of our trip!

We have dish pans in the sinks, have gallons of water for cooking, bottles of water for drinking and heavily depend on the campground bathrooms and frequent rest stops* along the highway for bathroom breaks.

And I have created the perfect on the road potty system...stay tuned for pictures (of the system, not demonstrations!)

*These stops also have the added benefit of usually being attached to gift shops, therefore realizing the trip that Foo and I are actually on...The Great American Gift Shop Tour).

Hi, Gina. I saw your comment on "Hello" and wanted you to know I've been reading and following your adventure all along. I've even looked up the cost of renting an RV for our family!

I am enjoying watching your trip via the internet. It sounds wonderful! Keep safe!

Hi Gina!

Love the blog! I've found that people with multiple kids (human, feline, canine--not much difference) and who homeschool are the ones who have the biggest adventures! Great idea with the flag. Can't wait to meet you when you get to Scott.
