the first one certainly counts, but it was solo, and even though it was 1400 miles, including a break down in Arkansas, it was still just me.
the real test of course is the family excursion.
myself and the three girls (my wife and two daughters, 5.5 and 2.5) hit the road this morning on the start of our trip back down to Naples, FL.
the first leg was approximately 500 miles from Detroit to Watkins Glen State Park in upstate NY.
the "truckster", as the kids are now affectionately calling her, did amazing. generator ran the entire time with no hiccups, averaged 8.5+mpg, the kids enjoyed themselves, and so did the little lady.
of course we got pulled over at the end of the journey by one of NY's finest, but it was just for a blown light over the license plate, but it certainly excited the kids (and me).
plan to enjoy the falls and wineries over the next few days and then off to DC to visit family. from there we plan to hit... Charleston, Savannah, Jekyll Island, and St Augustine, before heading home.
if anyone has any recommendations on places to stay, eat, or drink, im all ears, er eyes.
best to all of you!!
