Our New Cargo Trailer

When we packed up our van in Mexico, we discovered that we didn't have room for half of our back row of our van. So, we left it there. We had actually left the other half in Washington State already, so we drove up North without a back row whatsoever (it left so much more room for packing everything else)! However, we wanted to pick up the other half in Washington so we could have it in Alaska, and more importantly, we wanted to have room to take other things as well. Blah blah blah...

So...we finally bought our dream cargo trailer, a Yuppie Wagon! Not our dream color, but we saved 40% by going with a less popular color (the dealer gave us the choice between Orange and Camouflage). So, orange it is!!

We immediately took a trip to Costco, and stocked up on a 6 month supply of Diapers, baby wipes, laundry detergent, peanut butter, Olive oil, beans, apple sauce, and virtually everything else we knew we'd eat/use over the summer! You should have seen the looks we got walking out with THIS supply of items! The guy at the register said, "I'm glad I'M not changing all of those diapers!"

We then returned to Quincy and stuffed it full with everything else we could fit (bath towels, shower curtains, keyboard, trash cans, etc....) from our previous apartment we had in Washington State. Every nook and cranny has been filled!

And thus begins the last leg of our trip to Alaska. We leave bright and early Thursday morning, and we will hopefully arrive in Skagway on Saturday evening...in time for Easter Sunday, and the community Easter Egg Hunt! Wohoo!!

Happy Easter, and we'll try to blog again when we have internet connection (which may be awhile...considering Jared and I have to put together a new Hughesnet Satellite internet dish, and install it ourselves...hahaha!).
