    This is my favorite trip of the year. Each year we set out on a driving trip to one of our favorite shows....the Lone Star Round Up. The trip plan always begins to form on the drive home from the last year's show. But no matter how much fun was had and how serious everyone was about going things always change. Life happens and we adjust.

    This year is no different. Some friends that had planned to join us are not going and some new ones have joined the group. The best part about this year is that my 17 year old son Spencer is going with me. He told me a few months back he wanted to go and I have been holding my breath ever since hoping he would not change his mind. You know how it goes, its his spring break and these days off are like money burnin a hole in his pocket he could spend them however he wants; but he is still choosing to spend them with me. I am feeling pretty grateful.

    Here we are on day one in front of our house in southern California ready to make some miles and some memories.

    Just like last year I will be posting from the road photos and stories of whatever unfolds in front of us. I am doing the whole thing from my iPhone using the JJ app so after this initial post there will be more photos than words.

    Join us, won't you?

    Ah, hmm.. I just might have to stop by Bob's. Seems like there's a mini-LSRU at Bob's before the actual LSRU every year.
