We picked up the boys from camp this morning. I’m so glad to have our family of 6 back together again. They had an awesome week and we loved hearing about their time. 

Back with my boys! And yes, that pink bag behind Caleb is a their laundry from the week. I’m super grateful this campground has free laundry facilities! 

After we picked up the boys we headed to Chester Frost Campground in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It’s a large campground with small sites. The downside is the heat, but we look out on water. Also, the playgrounds, beach, free laundry, showers, and deer wandering around are really nice. Although I heartily disagree when Caleb tried to tell me we were basically glamping. Um, no. 

Pretty clouds on our drive

Let the Road Trip Begin!

 Usually this road trip is our one big event, but this year our summer has been full already. The day after school got out Caleb and I headed to Honduras for a church trip to serve children at Rancho Ebenezer near Tegucigalpa. Then Dave, Josh, and Caleb went to Bert Adams Boy Scout Camp for a week. The boys left a day early so we could all travel to St. Augustine for our family beach trip. After, we headed up to Georgia to drop off the two big boys at Camp Swamp. All really special, amazing trips, but WHEW! 

Friday we left to drive about 6 hours to Parks Ferry Campground in GA so we could pick up the boys from Camp Swamp Saturday morning. We packed up our Suburban and our Mean Bean tear drop trailer (we call it our green bean) and headed on our way!

Dave packs like he is playing Tetris. He is so good at organizing and fitting everything in! 

Bikes are on and ready to go!

Meals prepped and camp kitchen is packed up. 

Apparently when you’ve been married almost 18 years you dress to match your spouse and your camper. For the record, I chose my outfit first. 😂

On our way! Georgia here we come!

Here We Go Again

 This is our third year of our 6 week cross country summer trip.We have traveled from Florida to California (and a flight to Hawaii) then Florida to Maine the past two summers. It has been quite an adventure. This year we’re headed to Yellowstone for a week and we hope to visit several other national parks before and after.  I am a planner, my husband is less so. We have a general idea of where we’re going, but sometimes the details aren’t ironed out ahead of time. This summer is no different. So in case you’re wondering “Where are the Boyers?” I hope this blog will help answer that question. Thanks for being on this crazy journey with us!
