Welcome to the Hammond Adventures blog. The 2012 Hammond Family Cross-Country Trip all started with a desire and a goal back in 2009. As part of a coaching program I was asked to think about setting goals for myself. Looking at the ages of my daughters Kelsey and Lindsey I knew my time spent with them at home was limited and would pass quickly; soon they would be busy with their friends and activities. Karen has talked about a cross-country trip she took with her family as a child and I have always wanted to drive and see the country myself. This desire inspired me to set a 3 year goal to take our family on a cross-country trip. On Friday, July 13, 2012, we will set off on a four week adventure. I created this blog to record our family trip and experiences as we travel over 7,400 miles across the country and back. We look forward to making some wonderful family memories and hope you enjoy seeing and reading about them.
