Planes, trains, and automobiles...

This week has been a little hectic for us as Meg is working 3 days straight and Dan is busy cramming for his Ethics final. But there is light at the end of the tunnel...VaCaTiOn! And, boy, do we have a crazy itinerary. Check this out:

Thursday, July 19: Fly to Chicago to visit Meg's family in Bradley, IL
Friday, July 20: Take the train to Centralia, IL and visit Meg's Grandmother - for about an hour. Dan's parents will pick us up and drive us to Belleville, IL.
Saturday, July 21: Spend as much time as possible with as many friends and family members as possible. Eat good food and drink good beer.
Sunday, July 22: Drive 14 hours to Breckenridge, CO with Dan's family to stay in a condo there.
Monday, July 23-Thursday, July 26: Try to relax, unwind, and enjoy the area. Maybe visit some shops, do some fishing, and who knows what else. Oh yeah, and Dan will write his Ethics paper.
Friday, July 27: Fly from Denver to Charlotte in the morning and try to resume "normal" life asap.

As crazy as all of that sounds, we are actually looking forward to it. We love to travel and we love to see our friends and family. Unfortunately, as you can see in the picture above, our cat, Gracie, is not too happy that we are leaving her. She'll be in good hands but she really hates it when we go away.

We'll try to post as much as we can while we are gone. Pray for us - for peace of mind and safety.
