Miles covered: 343 (approx)

temper tantrums: too many to count, but not enough to ruin the trip.
missing items: 1 pink flip flop, 1 bag of books and heavy baby doll kit from Rudolf Steiner College Bookstore (think this got boosted at Costco. About $100.00 worth of stuff gone...dammit. I have to call tomorrow and replace it. One of the books was a text book I needed)
