Calgon...Take Me Away

Usually, VacationGirl doesn't come up with Very Important Discoveries (VID) until she (and wonderful family) are actually on vacation. However, this year, a VID has uncovered itself a little earlier - VacationGirl cannot wait until the 3rd week of August to take her first summer vacation!

Usually, family vacations start the last week of July or the first week of August. But since the almost 17-year old's school doesn't start until Sept 5 (Thank you very much), decisions were made to go after the almost 17-year old's birthday and before the start of school.

Oh NO - never again!

VacationGirl needs a vacation NOW! That much hated state up north's project is making her much older than her years! She does love the project but wow - it can make one crazy (but in a good way). Still vacation time is needed and fortunately, is only 4.5 working days away. By this time next week, she will be hopefully somewhere in the mind-numbing boring world of Kansas on the way to Colorado Springs.

This week will be spent gathering all the goodies that will occupy the Tahoe - things that will most likely never be used, but that VacationGirl and family believe they cannot travel without! Good thing we're driving and not flying.

So, washing, drying, folding, and gathering will be the name of the game this week. Need to try out the new card for the camera too - something has to be downloaded before formatting - hopefully it will be rather self-explanatory! Not in the mood to think!

Pike's Peak or Bust!
