4 weeks... Touchdown Washington...

We blink our eyes only to wake up and realize how time seems to pass by so quickly. It's as if just yesterday Nick and I began chatting about biking cross country; however, yesterday was really months and months and months ago. 

Time sure does go by quickly and now we are down to the last few weeks before we say goodbye Hawaii and hello to the mainland, where all of our adventures and new paths will begin. We have been in the process of preparing for this bike trip, making sure we have all the necessary materials to help us along the way. Never would I have imagined how much planning and preparation goes into such an adventure. I suppose it helps a great deal to have a partner who knows where we are going and how to read a road map for that matter. I on the other hand can manage the packing, the putting together of materials, and making sure we have all the right stuff for our little man Whistler. You ask me to read a rode map and I am good for pretty much nothing!
It still seems as though we have quite a bit left to do before we actually board the plane and take off to our first destination, which will begin in Bellingham, Wa, where our great family friend (a.k.a the other mother Carol) will be waiting for us at the airport.
Until then, we have the last details of the trip to route (or should I say Nick will be doing the routing) and we have to make sure we save some special time for my parents while they are in town visiting us.
