Trip Planning

OK out there here we come. It is one week until Robert & William start their Western Adventure. The planning has taken place for the past month and an official get together took place between the participants and their respective spouses yesterday here in Allen.

We are transporting C2C Berthiaume's newly purchased 2006 Saturn Vue out to USAFA in 80841. She got a great deal on a fine vehicle through her Uncle Pete. God bless Uncle Pete as he had to deal with Grandfather, Father, Mother and the Cadet over several weeks and waits to complete the deal. Thanks Uncle Pete for your patience and looking out for Sam who was so far away.

For those of you who don't know, Robert, aka Uncle Bobby is Mary Agnes's brother. And me, aka Uncle Lee am Mary Agnes' husband and Sams maternal grandfather.

So the stage is set, we're off a week from today and heading west on old Rt 50. The sun shall be to our backs as we head west each day and in our eyes as we call it a day. We know not where we will stop, other than Atchison, KS for sure. Bobby's Aunt Peggy, aka Sister Agnes O.S.B. was a long time resident in Atchison @ Mt. St. Scholastica We shall also look at least twice a day for any Drive INN, Diner or Dive that has some great food to sample.

We hope to reach USAFA by Thursday 09-02, catch a Parade on 09-03, a football game on 09-04 and catch a plane back east on 09-05. It has the makings of a great trip for two old men without a Bucket List, but hopefully filling a bucket with a lot of great memories and a few stories to tell along the way.

I'll try to be diligent in my keeping up with the Blog, I hope you all enjoy it. See you soon!
