Anderson Epic Adventure 2017!

Work slacks, shirts and ties are hung up in the closet, dress shoes are....not really sure. That can only mean one thing...vacation time! We are just a couple days away from heading out on what has become known to us as our Anderson Epic Adventure. What is an Anderson Epic Adventure you ask? Great question!

Around 2012 we began driving back to Wisconsin to visit my family instead of flying. Our first trip was a couple weeks long, took us through 7 states and 4 National Parks. Fast forward to the summer of 2016, that same trip to Wisconsin took us through 30 states, a few National Parks, some major cities (Dallas, D.C. Philly, Chicago), to some water (Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean) all 4 time zones and over 8,000 miles.

This year is looking to provide the same level of adventure. We will see new faces and new places along the way. This year we would like to share our adventures with you along the way through pictures, videos, and responding to any questions you may have for us!

With all the build up and excitement that comes before our trips, this one had an element of unknown. This would be the first time I was back home since the passing of my Dad. I had gotten used to my new normal back in Washington, missing the weekly phone calls and chats we had on the phone. The first time on his birthday I could not call or the first Father's Day with him gone. I was not sure what it was going to be like or how I would feel walking into his house again with him not there. I also knew that we would be spreading Dad's ashes during our visit. Whether or not it was fate, coincidence or strategic planning by my brother, the day that was selected was 6 months to the day of his passing. Cory picked me up and then we headed to Barron to pick up our Step-Mom and his boat. Once we were all loaded we began the journey. Our first stop was at the cemetery. While there we visited the burial sites of Dad's Grandparents. He always spoke highly of them and really love

Family selfie pulling into the driveway It has been a little over a week since we arrived back home from our trip and things have settled in for the most part. I have resumed my daily work schedule, had to start wearing pants to work last week, always a sign that things are ramping up at work. Tracey and the kids are bleeding out every ounce of time off. They spent part of last week at the Oregon Coast, another portion in Leavenworth WA camping and finishing up the week at Tracey's parents house. Before I respond to the title of this post, here are some of the stats from our trip (from one of Tracey's posts) and the route that we took: 34 days, 31 states, approximately 8120 miles traveled. Hit the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic, a barrier island, Lake Champlain, and Lake Michigan. Lots of friends and family visited, a service project completed, numerous great cities toured, no natural disasters endured.  This trip marked the milestone of Tracey and I both traveling
