I've been reading about your trips for several years now and I'm happy for you all that the boys are settled out West, but I'm sorry to hear about the future of your cross-country trips. I have a 10-year old daughter, 2 boys, 7 and 5, and a 3-month old daughter. We're all going to the New England RV convention this weekend to check out the goods and if all goes well, will be renting one for our first RV trip this summer down the east coast to Hatteras. I must say that I don't think we'd be at this stage without reading about your trips through the years. Thank you for sharing your treasured memories and countless pointers and itineraries, and ultimately inspiring us to get out there and go see the beautiful US.

I too have been following your website for a number of years. The information and stories you provide is better than any Travel Guide out there on offer. I always go back to your page when planning our (RV) trips. Thank you so much for taking all the time to publish.
Yes, it is always in the back of my mind that the kids get older, fortunately mine is only 9 and I make a point of travelling as much as possible together. She just loves it.
I wish you all the very best for the future and much fun travelling, even if it is not always the Lazy Daze.

I have commented before but I wanted to say again how much your blog has meant to our family. We just finished our longest trip this past summer from SC to Maine and back. It would not have been possible without reading about your adventures first. Thank you for taking the time to write and record all that you have! We are having the best time traveling to new places, learning (we are both teachers- learning is in our blood!), being with our children and watching them explore our beautiful country. Seeing how "fast" your two have grown up makes us treasure the time we get to spend with ours at their young ages.
