Sabbatical 2010

We had an amazing time this summer enjoying Adam's Sabbatical. Intel offers their employees an 8 week sabbatical every seven years of employment. We started our journey the last week of May and 56 days later we arrived back in Arizona. I have mapped out the trip above and you can click on the map to enlarge it and see the full version.
Over the next few days I am going to post our trip from beginning to end with video (hopefully) and pictures.
We had such a wonderful time and created a lot of memories that I am very excited to share :)

Just to wet your taste buds, a few items we counted along the way....

Days- 56
Miles- 8,556
Rides- 80 (not all Disney!)
Large Crosses-13
McDonald Stops-12
Stops for Alex-10
Restroom Only Stops- 2
Stimulus Projects- 10
Ate at Costco-4
Rain Storms- 17
Cases of Water- 6
Tolls- $ 68.60
Islands-5
Lighthouses- 5
Amelia Firsts-7 and still counting!!

We are very grateful for the opportunity we had to travel our great nation and visit our family and friends. I can't wait to share our memories with you over the next few days and weeks!!
