Gone Down River

Matt and I are embarking on a very rugged LeCheminant adventure today. I married into a family of river rats, and consequently we're setting off to explore the Grand Canyon! To be perfectly honest, packing has been a little bit of a stretch. I am taking 4 shirts, 3 pairs of shorts, a few swim suits, and 6 pairs of underware for 13 DAYS! Sick. The trouble is even though I feel like I am taking nothing, I still don't know if everything will fit in our allotted river bags. I've realized it's A LOT different vacationing as your own family - you have to bring EVERYTHING on the list: your own sun screen, insect repellent, first aid kit, tarp, tent, mess kit, etc. I have to be a grown up now. My mom isn't going to bring all the details and leave me to only bring clothes. I have to step up to the plate, but it unforuntately takes up a bit more space. Alas. Farewell. I hope I come back alive :) Lava Falls...Here we come!

  2. I hope you are having a blast on the river and I love all the little things, except the Costco couch, I wish they would have delivered it for you, what a bummer!
