tentative trip schedule...

as was the case last summer, this tentative schedule probably will change considerably as we work our way south. death valley may be out (mom says it'll be 120 degrees, there will be no on around, the car will break down, we'll run out of water, and then we'll die. that would force liv to miss her sophomore orientation. not good).
phoenix may also be out, depending on how long it takes us to see and experience all of the cool stuff in utah and northern arizona. but a dip in jack and jackie's pool would sure be nice.
that said, here's the tentative schedule:
Friday, June 26: woodinville to the potholes in eastern washington(183 miles)
Saturday, June 27: the potholes to ogden, utah (667 miles)
Sunday, June 28: ogden to moab, utah (268 miles) (canyonlands, arches, etc?)
Monday, June 29: moab to flagstaff, arizona (243 miles) (4 corners, arches, canyon de chelle?)
Tuesday, June 30: flagstaff loop back to flagstaff via the grand canyon (218 miles) (the meteor crater?) (or continue on to sedona, another 30 miles? or maybe on to montezuma's castle and well?)
Wednesday, July 1: flagstaff to phoenix via sedona (168 miles)
Thursday, July 2: phoenix to las vegas (328 miles) (hoover dam, meteor crater, lake havasu city and london bridge(!)
Friday, July 3: las vegas to santa barbara, california, via death valley (438 miles)
Saturday, July 4: what to do? where to be?
Sunday, July 5: santa barbara to monterrey (249 miles)
Monday, July 6: monterrey to mendocino (283 miles) (or san francisco?)
Tuesday, July 7: mendocino to gold beach, oregon (281 miles)
Wednesday, July 8: gold beach to cannon beach (286 miles)
Thursday, July 9: cannon beach to woodinville (221 miles)
and then it's time to start planning the next trip...

Have a blast. Just don't make Olivia listen to "On the Road Again" more than once. Be safe and make us proude (i.e. don't get arrested or steal the hotel towels).

Have some Rite Aid ice cream (mint chip is the best!) for me when you're in California. And if you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...or at least Olivia can. :) We'll miss your treats...er, YOU, while you're gone!
