Disco Era Cross Country

Since I was talking about previous cross country trips already, I had to include a photo from one of my family's numerous trips. Growing up in a military meant moving every few years and our family always made the move into a vacation. If this photo is the trip I'm thinking it is, my parents had my uncle and his buddy (both fresh out of high school) drive our VW bug across the country with us. I'm not sure if that idea was wilder or if it was my handmade clothes. Gotta love the late '70s!

And NO, that is not the RV we want to take on our trip in 2010!

Let's Visit Hillsboro!

Alright, so that title doesn't seem very exciting nor to make sense when this entire blog is devoted to taking a cross country trip. But after you plot all the Hillsboros (including Hillsboro Mountain, VT and Hillsboro Beach, FL) in this country on a U.S. map, you get a different picture all together. Though the two NH ladies on this trip will claim there is a Hillsboro in every state, there is actually only 30 states represented. Which to me is still a strong showing.

So, which ones do we visit?

The reason for the trek

So I thought it would be nice to show "the why" behind this trip. It's not that we want to drive across country with two dogs in the hopes of driving each other crazy with our personal habits and increasing the risk of losing one other as friends. Not that all. It's because some of our closest Everyday Friends (I think Hannah may have a trademark on that name) Thereasa and Shane are getting married in Oregon next July.

To give you a better idea who Thereasa and Share are, you can check out their engagement video:
