The Nelson’s take on the West Coast: The Journey from Indiana to California and Back

---

Preface:



I thought it would be fun to blog about our adventures to California. We are currently taking a cross country road trip to California to see Tim’s sister Bri in Northern California. This trip will be 12 days there and back. We will be stopping at Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, Seattle, Redwoods of California, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Colorado, and Lincoln Nebraska. It will involve packing up 3 teens and 1 preteen in close contact with their siblings for days. My kids generally do not spend a day without argument, so the hope is they are no blood shed on our trip. We left all sharp objects at home for this reason and only have plastic utensils. Let the adventures begin.
