First Officers Log: The Old Homestead

I have arrived at 1229 Gail Rd, the place I spent the first 19 years of my life. God, I have so much crap here. Sorry Memom :( When looking for something in the basement I found an old Jar Jar Binks mask. I forgot I had this!

The car is all packed up and I am just relaxing with Pappy aka "The Old Man" and Memom watching some movie about a little girl in the depression (its weird). I went to hang out with my little brother Chuckles but SURPRISE he is sleeping. Pappy wants to leave at 6:00 am tomorrow, so that should be fun! The road ahead will be long but I am looking forward to it. I hope I have everything!

First Officers Log: Predepature preperations

These are the voyages of a father and son. Our mission, to seek out great beer in new places. To boldly go where many have gone before...........

It is a week from the day till the old man and I begin our 19 day journey. The route is mapped, the mustang is purring like a kitten, and I have plenty of chex mix! I find my self thinking of the trips we took when I was a child. My sister and I would sleep in the car the night before so we could wake up already on the road. I do not have the luxury of such things this time seeing that I have to drive and quite frankly who wants to sleep in a mustang. I have decided to share our journey with you all here. Check back for pictures and random musings along the road. Click here to see a map of the first leg of our trip.
