Hello and Welcome to the Lillie Family Blog!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the Lillie Family blog! I decided to create a blog to share with all of you, our family and friends, our crazy life at the LilliepadUSA. "Life with the Lillies" is never dull, especially with four wonderfully busy, extremely special children. The other "forcing function" for this blog is our upcoming Lillie Family July 2008 Roadtrip.

We will be departing the Lilliepad on July 7th and driving through, or staying in, 15 different states, including: Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California! Over 5,300 miles will be traveled, nearly 250 gallons of gas consumed (please don't shoot me, my other car is a Prius), and almost 90 hours of books on tape listened to in our 25 day long journey. The trip will also be a once-in-a-lifetime chance for our family to spend this special time together as a family and experiencing some of the beauty in our great country we call home. I intend to blog every day of the trip, and expect my wife and children to do some blogging as well (Nick is "Mr. Beast"), to give you their individual perspective on what I know will be a trip of a lifetime.

Thanks for reading and may God Bless each and every one of you!

Brian
