Epic Graduation Trip

We're going cross-country!
Day One of our GA to CA trip in honor of our eldest son's high school graduation. This is our most epic Airstream trip to date. We have had the AS since Feb. and have been to Jacksonville, FL, Washington D.C., Oak Ridge, TN and Chattanooga TN.

We left this morning at 7:15am. Scooby(age 18) has slept since we left. He always falls asleep before we pull out of the driveway and then snoozes for hours. If we stop he wakes, gets out and then falls asleep within minutes of being on the road again. It is really odd.

We will be visiting several national parks to enjoy some hiking and biking. Yosemite will be the main focus and longest stay. Half Dome is the goal.
Along the way we will visit some classic American sights. Carlsbad, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, etc... I will be seeing these for the first time with my sons. Hubby's family took long car/camping trips every summer and he has seen everything USA. My dad had his own business and could never leave it for more than a couple of days. My family rarely left WA.

Now we live 600 miles from one set of Gram and Gramp and a plane trip from the other. When the boys were young they always wanted to see them so we usually spent our vacations time in PA and we flew to the west coast a few times.
