And... We're Off!: Day One

I'm writing this post from Grandma's house in Mesa, AZ.

This morning, we finished packing up the van and got off at about 11:00. A bit later than we had hoped, but today was a shorter distance than we're looking forward to later in the trip.

We stopped at a Walmart superstore in the early afternoon for our first shopping trip. I'd never been in one before, and it was a bit overwhelming. Parts just felt like Walmart, but parts felt like Vons, except for all the smily faces!

A little ways past Yuma, our odometer on our '95 Ford Windstar ticked over 200,000 miles!

We stopped at Uncle Steve and Aunt Trish's house to say goodbye, then came here to Grandma's. Pizza for dinner and ice cream cake for dessert, and I'm just about ready to crash!

I'll only be able to post every few days because we'll be camping, but I'll try to keep you up-to-date on our adventure. Thanks to all of you for your prayers!

And special thanks to Grandma for letting me use her computer!

God bless,
-Rebekah

EDIT: Sorry about not posting pics until Monday. Grandma's computer wouldn't let me (no offense meant to her fine machine.)
