So here is the updated game plan.....
We are packing up the car Tuesday... or... well... I guess tomorrow! Then All 5 of us are leaving FIRST thing Wednesday morning. (me and mom are debating on just sleeping in the car and waking up somewhere in PA while the car is already moving) We are stopping at some stadium and then sleeping in a hotel. Thursday we continue on route to another stadium before resting again in a hotel either right near our destination, or just over the state boarder. Then on Friday "Operation Save Sister" shifts into high gear!!!! All 5 of us pack up everything we can! At noon Dad and Mom go and pick up the truck, and we pack it as quickly, safely, and carefully as possible. Being sure to pack every ounce of stuff in there so there is less we need to pack in the van. Somewhere around 3 I will be meeting up with Kristy for a late lunch and possibly some romping around Okalahoma City causing some trouble O;-) or just having some fun! :o) Hopefully everyone can come! But I'm not sure if the packing will be done by then. Once the truck is packed, the twins say bye to dad and we hop in the car and head off! "Operation Save Sister" is half way complete! We head home as fast as possible! Stopping every 3 hours for potty breaks, stretching our legs, and "save our sanity" time. We will sneak all 8 people into a Motel room, Friday night and again on Saturday night. HOPEFULLY we will be home some time on Sunday evening so we will not have to worry about another hotel.
For those of you that don't know... Kristy is one of if not my absolute closest and bestest friend. We have known each other since 5th grade when we lived next door to each other. We spent every waking moment with each other from the day I moved in, through my first boyfriend, and until we both moved right before freshman year in high school. We both moved around the same time, and it was really really hard. I moved to a different house in Sparta... and she moved to Colorado! We kept in constant touch for well over a year. She came to visit right before the start of sophomore year and we spent 2 weeks straight with each other. After that things started getting busier... While she was over Daddy broke his back and my bro had to get stitches. So life got really crazy and we gradually lost touch. We recently got back in touch (Gotta love Facebook!) and we STILL finish each others sentences and spent hours just talking either online or on the phone. I miss her like mad and I can't wait to see her! She goes to school in Okalahoma! So hopefully she can get a way to get to Okalahoma City where my sister lives so we can see each other!
OH! And this entire trip will be done on ABSOLUTELY NO MORE than $75 a day! Including the Hotels! It should be fun! =D Me and mommy are already trying to come up with cheap ideas for food and stuff! We are thinking of packing a pot... some cans of soup... and getting a portable burner from my aunt. This way we can cook in the hotel rooms :o) and we might bring either a microwave or the George Forman Grill. =D I know I'm a dork. But I'm actually looking forward to this! It's kinda like a game to see who can arrange the cheapest day! :o)
Ok... I think I'm loosing my mind. A LOT happened today (this is only some) so I will have to update more later. Right now I think I need to un-hyper myself and get some sleep. It is 2 am.
