Heading Out West
We’ll be leaving this Saturday (Sept. 1st, for archival’s sake) to head out west and take in the sights. Mom and Dad bought a big motor home after checking out the prices on renting one (egads), and we’ll be towing our van behind it. We’ll be gone for 3 entire weeks - it’s kinda mind-boggling. Wish us luck on the 7 of us, plus a cat and a dog, still being sane after living together in a big motor home for that amount of time.
This will be the first “real” family vacation we’ve ever taken - I’ve gone off for a week for business twice, once taking Mike with me. The boys have gone on week-long trips with their grandparents before, but we’ve never done it together. Needless to say, there’s quite a bit of both anticipation and nervousness about the prospect of it. 3 weeks is a long time to be in a camper together. Mike is really looking forward to all the time away from work, but I’ve got a feeling he’s going to be having withdrawal pains and won’t know what to do with himself after a few days with all of that time on his hands. I don’t even think he’s considered what he’s going to take along to keep himself occupied/entertained. I’ll have to talk to him about that tonight.
In the next few days we’ve got a lot of packing to do, cleaning the house up, and generally getting everything ready to go. Wish us luck!

I thought you had disappeared. I’ve checked your blog a few times over the summer and it wouldn’t even load. I’m so glad you’re back — even if you’re leaving again for three weeks.
I hope your vacation is wonderful.
