Where did July go?

Alisha says: I spent the whole month of July on the road racing and visiting family. Dave had a break from school and so we made a road trip vacation out of part of it. I should have blogged along the way because now I feel like writing about the whole trip is overwhelming so here is a quick day by day recap.
