My Summer of Numbers

Just got back from 5 days in FL looking at 35 houses (more on that later.)  Thank you to my Mother-in-law and Brother-in-law for coming out to watch the kids!

Home for 4 days which include 2 baseball games, 1 field trip to the zoo, 1 offer made on a house, 1 last day of school, 1 birthday, 1 appraisal and packing for 1 week in UT.

9 days in UT.  1 wedding, 4 dentist appointments, 1 fishing trip, lots of family and lots of friends!

Home for 2 days.  1 orthodontist appt, 1 well child visit, 1 day of Sadie saying goodbye to pre-school, unpacking, laundry and packing for trip to Nauvoo.

Drive to Nauvoo for 1 family reunion.  11 hours, 4 kids, 1 adult, 4 fiddler crabs, 2 beetles, 1 night in a hotel, 1 stop in Kirtland, OH...just to get there.  Then, 3 days in Nauvoo.  Lots of family.  Drive home...repeat first part of trip, in reverse.

Home for 12 days.  Hopefully 1 trip to Idlewild or Kennywood (amusement parks), lots of good-byes, lots of watching other people pack lots of boxes and load them into 1 huge truck, 1 closing (hopefully!), and 1 drive to FL.

In FL for 5 days.  Watch other people unload 1 huge truck (hopefully into a house, not our 2 room tent, or a storage unit.)  1 closing (please, please, please!) 

Drive 1 mini-van, 4 kids, and 1 adult (maybe 2?) to Franklin, TN for some yet-to-be-determined amount of time.  See 2 parents I haven't seen in 15 months. 1 brother getting sealed, meet 3 new cousins, 1 new aunt and 1 Oliver.

Drive to Atlanta.  1 trip to Varsity, at least 4 slaw dogs and 2 orders of onion rings, maybe even 1 or 2 fried pies. 1 stop at Stone Mtn, 1 laser show.

Drive to FL....drop dead from sheer exhaustion.

Burn interior of 1 mini-van, because, get real....you know what it will look like!

116 hrs 55 min, 7498.73 miles.  (of course 3700 miles are flying...so only 3798.55 miles driving).  Did I mention the flight to Utah takes place over 13 hrs and 3 flights?

Aah! This is the stuff memories are made of!
