Mini Road Trip
This morning the kids and I left for a mini road trip to New Hampshire. I’m kind of hoping that this will be a good test run before our road trip “out west” in August. Right before we went for a week in “Disney” with Make-A-Wish we went up to a smaller amusement park called “Canobie Lake Park” to get our feet wet.
So far so good. The girls (Rachel, specifically) only asked me if we “were there yet” about 14 times on the way up. It probably would have been up 40 times if I hadn’t cracked open the vault of children’s audio books that I have been saving up.
We got to the hotel today at 2pm and headed up to explore (via McDonalds) and ended up spending 3 hours at Clark’s Trading Post < click here to see their website>
The kids are watching TV in our hotel room (I’m determined to find ONE hotel chain to use and earn some points) and we’re about to explore to see if they have a coke and/or ice machine. Momma’s dying for a diet coke and their lemonade jug is a little warm.
Pictures later. If you’re reading this take a minute to say hello. 
TeamRachel aka mrskatvon is both a website to gain public awareness of Juvenile Batten Disease (which affects my oldest daughter) as well as a journal to remember the events in our lives.
Rachel was diagnosed with Batten Disease in July 2009 and while we knew something was "not right" we had no idea that such a nightmarish disease existed. There are dozens of nasty, orphan disease which affect people both very young and old.
Aside from dealing with the changes of Batten Disease in my daughter, Rachel, I have tasked myself with making life memorable for all of my children to make sure that (at least) 3 of them grow up to be as well adjusted and happy as possible.
