We hopped in the car at six am in Simpsonville, SC and headed to Folly Beach, SC on the coast. The drive was about three and a half hours each way. It was totally worth the drive.

July 10, 2019 Day 3 Indiana Dunes to Whitewater Memorial State Park, IN
The calm after the storm. Well sort of. Brooke woke us up at 4:40 alerting us to the rain that was drumming into our campsite and picking up speed and energy with every moment. Scott and I stumbled out of the tent still with our eyes half open and put the fly on the tent faster than I think we ever have. The timing just before sunrise allowed us to be able to see unlike most instances when we are woken up in the middle of the night. We rested for a few more hours, but no one really fell back to sleep.

July 8, 2019 Day 1 Home to the Indiana Dunes
Here we go :-) Starting mileage is 175,535. Just shortly before 9am we all ran through the house one more time looking for things we didn’t want to forget, squished on the kitties one last time, and piled into the van. She’s a little weighed down, but she is still working hard.

Scott was up at 5am, but let us all sleep until 7:30. It was a perfect morning to sleep in and with the top off the light breeze lulled us in and out of sleep.

July 6, 2018 Day 3 Kohler Andre State Park, WI to Wells State Park, MI
I love the peaceful sleeping pictures. It is so hard to get pictures of these guys these days, and I’m sure they would be mad if they knew I took them, but I made sure they weren’t drooling before I took the pics.

July 5, 2018 Day 2 Kohler Andre State Park, WI
The apple cobbler that was abandoned in the Dutch Oven the night before, due to the rain, became a very delicious start to this morning.

July 4, 2018 Day 1 Home, to Kohler Andre State Park, WI
So here it is, never thought we’d say it, but this is most likely the last family summer road trip vacation from Illinois. This time next year the goal is to be heading to a new home in South Carolina. It’s a steamy 88 degree day. Time to leave the air conditioning and private showers in search of connecting with nature and each other.

June 21, 2017 Day 1 Home to Indiana Dunes, IN
Teton finally got the house to herself at 11 am. We did a quick stop over to say goodbye to Pepe and we cruised on down the road to get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on 290 about an hour later.
