The time has come for us to go on vacation.  This is something we don't generally do.  Oh, we will take a week and go to my parent's house every year, but there is something special about venturing out on your own to unknown territory.

My husband's sister and her husband live on the coast of Maine.  Every July they offer their spare apartment for friends and family to stay in and this year we decided to take them up on their offer. 

We haven't seen LaRee and Bob for fifteen years.  The children have never met their aunt and uncle, instead they only know them from their Christmas cards and gifts that come every December.  So although we are still spending our vacation visiting family, it is like going on an adventure. 

We plan to take advantage of this long distance road trip to visit famous sites along the way.  Our first stop will be in our nation's capital.  We won't go in and visit anything but instead will just stretch our legs and walk around the mall and see the buildings.  Next April, we will go back for a detailed visit.  We also are planning on driving through NYC, see the Empire States Building and the Statue of Liberty. 

The best part of all will be seeing LaRee and Bob in Maine, playing in the ocean, boating and fishing, and whateverelse Maine has to offer us.

I can't wait and will be sure to post pictures when we get back in about ten days or so.

Until then,

God Bless
