Getting closer to go time for the big cross country trip. We are trying to finish up all our packing, planning, organizing and last minute trips to the orthodontist. Yuck! The orthodontist's kids are probably going first class to Europe while we are driving across the country and staying in campgrounds. Oh the injustice!
Our plan is a circle from MD, to Dallas, to Minneapolis and back down to NC in time for beach week in New Bern, NC. Stay tuned!
Here's a map for the first leg of the trip:
Mileage to Mom's: 289 miles
Mom's to Biltmore Estates: 230 miles
Total: 519 miles

Thanks to my husband, King of the Nerds for inserting the map and miles program!!
So will the KON be installing a web cam onto the back seat Xbox along with a Sprint wireless card so we can see real-time video during the trip?
Yes, I definitely vote for a webcam. What are you going to be camping in when you go to campgrounds, tents or the back of your vehicle (whatever it is). When are you going to be in New Bern? Are you going to VT?
We will be the first stop on the great cross country expedition. We
can't wait to see Colleen and the kids
Now we need some music on the blog....need to hear Kahea play Ode to Joy in the next new state!
Your Biltmore comments made me want to go back again. One thing I really liked about it was that you could stay in the house as long as you wanted. We went to Hearst Castle in CA and you rode up on a bus, took a tour of a small part and then had to leave.....I guess because you couldn't come and go on your own? You spent 2-3 hours depending on tour, including the bus ride!
Loved Biltmore and it's connection to Shelburne Farms in VT as well as the Vanderbilt Mansion in NY.
Hi Kathleen,
They actually talked about the Webb branch of the family. It was said Vanderbilt had a friendly design competition against Dr Webb, but admitted defeat after seeing the stables Webb had built in Vermont. He said the Stables were a perfect example of the beauty for form and function.
