And I'm outta here!

Well, first I'm going to bed. But as soon as we're all dressed, we're hopping in the car for the annual (or at least biannual) Green Family Road Trip. This year we aren't going coast to coast. (You can imagine how sad we feel about that!) We will see a huge chunk of I-40, though--and 70 or 80, I'm not sure which way we're coming home. Twelve hours tomorrow, another twelve on Friday, and a few days' rest in California at my in-laws', then up to Nevada for a reunion, over to Utah to see my sister, and then trekking back. I'll have limited internet access but I'm sure I'll check in now and then. But hey--both DH and I finished our books, and it's time to get out of town and empty our heads.

Speaking of books, I did tell my MC to go take a tour of the US and get out of my head for a while back when I was getting sick of revising--I'm half expecting to see him out there on I-40. He'll be in an old muscle car he got suckered into that looks cool and vintage--and whose motor is pretty vintage, too. And he's taking the trip with his bud Oscar (his author, [profile] angie_frazier, also sent him on a hike...). They're out there having their epic summer road trip experience. If I see them, I'll wave or take a picture or something.

Anyway, imagination aside, I hope that you all have fantastic news in the next couple of weeks and that I come back to great stuff from all of you!

Have a great trip! If you see and Andy and Oscar tell them to slow down and put on their seat belts...those two guys are our meal tickets, Rose :-)

Come back with lots of pics to share and lots of stories!

Have a great trip! If you ever come on I-80 the other direction, I hope y'all will stop here. We're an easy on-and-off. In Iowa...

Ooh--not sure which way we're going back yet--if we go through your town I'll let you know.

Thanks! The kids have been great so far, and we're on our way to the beach right now.
