Apr. 25, 2007 - And We're Off!
After a zillion loads of laundry, a trip to Target, Old Navy, and Kroger, packing six suitcases, a tub of food, a box of library books, and pretending that the house is cleaner than it is, we are heading out Thursday morning for our big vacation! Wohoo!!
We head to my brother's home in PA first, where we will delight in both Gettysburg and Hershey. Battlefields and Bon Bons. Pefect combination! Then to Ocean City for a few quiet days and then we will hit Washington D.C. (Which one of my daughters HATES, she declared tonight after finding out she was going to miss a pizza party AND a bowling party AND a Bible Bowl tournament.) So while many of us view D.C. as a beautiful city reflecting our heritage, to my oldest, it is simply a horrible beast that is ruining all her fun. I have a feeling she'll come around.
My hubby got a fabulous new laptop (for only $37! That is a story in itself), so I'll see if I can figure out how to post photos on it so you can see me eating my weight in chocolate and torturing my child with monuments. While we're gone, I'll be celebrating my 29th birthday again, so that will be fun!
I'd love some prayers for safety, health, wonderful memories, rest, and enough money to make it back home again. Thanks, girls!

Happy 29th birthday....snicker, snicker. And I loved your humor. (at least, I hope it was) Kids are so funny. Sometimes the familiar....(pizza and a party) seem better than something called....Disneyland.
I wish I could go on your venture with you. It sounds amazing. Hershey sounds particularly amazing right about now. I'll pray for your safe travel. :)

Twenty-nine again huh? I've had my fair share of those! Honestly, I forgot you were leaving, which is not too surprising, considering I forget my own children's birthdays! I will be praying for your safe and super fun vacation and I hope you and your family have a wonderful time! I miss you already!
I can't wait to see pictures. :)
Love,
Hallie
