maximum occupancy and travel planning

Twice we have been sent away because we exceeded the amount of people allowed in the room. They claimed a maximum of, at one place 4 and at another 5 people allowed in one room by state law. At one place it was badly jested by a man in line behind Leon that he put some of them in the pool to drown. What a selfish, child hating world we have. We have been the biggest family anywhere we have gone and we only have 5 children.

For those planning a trip in the near future this might interest you:
We spend about $40 per day to eat. This is cereal for breakfast, meat and veggie sandwiches (made in the car) for lunch and some kind of fast food for dinner. Sometimes the hotel will have kids eat free meals or we'll go to taco bell etc.
We spend about $30 to tent camp. A hotel costs between $45 and $90. The $90 is a holiday inn that always comes with a light breakfast. We do laundry and shower when we have a hotel. We like to get a hotel if we get a late start because of fun or business and are not ready to stop driving by 7pm.

Each gas tank costs about $100 and we can go about 350 miles on each tank.
Entering Grand Canyon park cost us $25 and Disneyland cost us $600 for a 2 day pass. Any food in Disneyland tastes terrible and costs too much. For example a frozen microwaved Chimichanga with about a 50 ingredients you can't pronounce will cost you $5 and won't fill you up. We were feeding 7 people so we exceeded our food budget those days.

We are so happy to be away from California and have decided that we are not southern weather people. If God calls us there, He'll fix that. We love you all. Please pray for God to extend the life of my dear uncle Harold. We have so much to learn from him and feel we have barely begun.

Lord, extend thy traveling mercies to the Goodenough clan! In the all-providing name of Jesus we claim peace, protection, health, economy and mechanical soundness over the whole family and vehicle, according to thy perfect will expressed in Phil 4:19.
Stop and smell the flowers along the way!
Love ya,

The Taylors
