When Chris and I were first married we decided to move to CA. This very large decision was done over a bottle of wine (or two) and the non refundable one way tickets were purchased that evening. We almost moved to Seattle but changed our mind since my mom lived in San Diego. That turned out to be a great experience but one would think that we would have learned to put more thought into decisions. Up until now we have been pretty good about this. Last night we bought tickets and are moving to Cork, Ireland in 3 mos.
kidding... though I would love to do it. seriously.
a week or so ago we decided to take a road trip to FL. It sounded like such a great time that night and the kids are so excited. Now that we are actually putting it into action I realize that it's nuts. this is going to be a whirlwind trip. 1 night here, 1 night there, 2 night here and angry family members who feel they are being slighted.
why? why? why?
plus... the thought of leaving Henry in a kennel was just to disturbing for us so we decided that we were going to take him with us. has anyone ever taken a dog on a road trip?
maybe I should have someone house sit.

you're not going to regret it once you get in the car and start driving, i can almost guarantee it. it feels so good to be moving, to get a break from everyday life, and to really get to see what's in between point a and point b (as opposed to jumping on a plane). don't worry!! the family members will get over it, the kids will love it, and it will feel nice to be home when you return.
i recommend getting a house/dog-sitter, because it's really reassuring to know there's someone you trust there while you're gone. that's what we do on the rare occasions when we all go somewhere together dog-free.
OR...does henry get along with other dogs? i'd be more than happy to watch him for you while you're gone...
thanks for the offer. very kind of you. I will keep it in mind.
I do think that it will be too much to have Henry with us. he does get car sick easily. what a stinky ride it woudl be.
thanks for the supportive words too. I am feeling excited again. I am just going to not worry about it. get some good books on tape and music and drive south
