On Road Again

About four years ago, I drove Aaron and Kevin to Florida for a few days. The trip was Aaron's graduation gift. Well, we figured it was about time to give it a try again. Aaron loves the music and visual stimulation of the theme parks. Kevin enjoys the warmer weather and time away.

Why is this such a big deal? Both Kevin and Aaron require a lot of assistance. We have to drive due to Aaron's physical disability. Aaron requires a lift, a shower chair, and other equipment in addition to his wheelchair. Hopefully, there will be enough room in the van for all the equipment and supplies.

It'll take us a couple of days to get to Orlando. We'll need to stop along the way and get all the equipment out for each meal and bathroom stop. Needless to say, this will take us a while. But it's worth it. The guys don't ask for anything. It's hard to figure out what to do for gifts for them or for special events.

So, here we go. The plan is an eight day trip with the better part of the two days on each end travelling. We are heading out on January 27 and returning February 4. I'll try to keep this blog up to date with our progress and some photos.

Check in with us once the trip has started. I'll do my best to keep this up to date.
