So we've been on the road now for one week, started off with a five-hour car trip to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It was nice to start there because we go there every year and it is one of my favorite places in the world. Because we have been there many times before, we didn't feel like we had to do everything, and that was a good way to calm down after the stress of all the packing we had to do to get ready for the trip.

If I were to tell you about every little part of each day we spent this week, it would take hours, so I'll just tell you some of the highlights of the trip so far. On the second day we went to the Wellfleet Drive-In movie theatre, which is one of the few left in the U.S. We saw the movie, Wall-E.

The next day we went to Provincetown to rent bikes, but both places we went to were sold out for the day, so we decided to go to the beach instead. Stefan and I made a throne room out of sand and filled it with booby traps and called it the "Temple of Doom." We worked on it for hours. Before leaving on our last day, we went to the Highland Light, which is my favorite light house in the world ... so far.

Take a look at this picture of a storm cloud in Provincetown!

We finally have left on our year-long trip and we've been on the road for one week. I'm so excited that I'm getting to go to all of these different places, but I'm not so happy that I have to sit in the car for hours.

I am in Maine right now and I'm having such a good time. The night we arrived, I said that I wished we were just staying here instead of going around the world because I like it so much. I biked 12 miles around Bubble Pond, Jordan Pond and Eagle Lake in Acadia National Park. I love hiking in Acadia because there are so many rocks that you can climb on and I'm a really good climber. Yesterday I went whale watching, but it was really foggy. Too bad we didn't see any whales!  Because we didn't see any whales, we are going to do a lighthouse boat tour today - if it's not too foggy again.

Here's a picture of me during our bicycle trip in Acadia National Park:

Hello once again, people of the World Wide Web. It's Tyler here. I'm writing this post the day before my big, round-the-world trip. The last few weeks were spent packing, selling our house, saying "bye" to friends, and going to going-away parties (YAAAAAH).

So as you know, since I'm not going to have a real room of my own to keep clothes, and toys, and stuff of that nature for a year, we're pretty much living out of a suitcase and a backpack the entire time. We have to pack a lot of stuff! In our suitcases, we're keeping clothes with different capabilities. For example, some dry easily and some have bug spray built in. I could go on for hours, but I won't. Anyway, in my backpack I have stuff to entertain me like a Nintendo DS, the iTouch, and a book.

In other news, I just graduated elementary school. I got dismissed from my elementary school for the very last time (though I will still have to go to that school sometimes because my brother might go back to it as a fourth grader when we get back from our trip). I feel sorta good about not going to middle school this year because then when I come back, I won't be in the lowest grade.

Today, we have a 5 1/2 hour drive to Cape Cod. We picked Cape Cod to start our trip because it is one of my favorite places we've ever been to in the United States. We have gone there every summer since I was a baby.

So it looks like this blog is just about wrapped up.

Until my next blog ...
