Big trip

Today was the first day of our big trip.  I was invited to speak at a camp in California called Forest Home for two sessions at the beginning of July.  Since I have a missions trip I'm helping lead at the end of July it was a bit tough to go into this month knowing I'd be gone a lot. 

We packed the car and started driving to California today.  Driving instead of flying is just easier for a family of 5 plus Danielle and the kids are staying out in Cali while I'm in Romania so renting a car for a month and buying 5 airplane tickets just didn't make sense.

Sitting in a hotel room in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  Just figured out that Las Cruces is almost exactly 1/2 way between Dallas and San Diego.  Today was a long day of driving and tomorrow will be too but it's nice to know that it only takes two days to get home.  (by home I mean the opposite place on either end of this trip)
