The countdown is on.....only 5 days until Scott and I leave for vacation. We are flying to Washington, DC.....staying in Baltimore at cousin Catherine's house, heading off to Atlantic City for a day or two (depends on how much we WIN)....then Amtraking it to Minneapolis (Mall of America: Here I come!)....then I get to meet my new in-laws (YIKES!) They live just north of St. Paul (White Bear Lake)....then we Amtrak again to Seattle....I'll have my laptop with me and hopefully will be able to document our travels.
I'm VERY excited to meet my new sisters-in-law...not to mention new stepson (he's 18), and mother-in-law.....okay, quite nervous too.....
That's all for now....have a great Wednesday everyone!

It sounds like you are going to have a great time. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteWHOOOAAAAA HAAAAAAA!!! Can't wait to see ya, Cousin Lauri Who Lives in Alaska!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOhhh Lauri that's a lot in one trip! I'd be a bit nervous too! LOVE taking the train! I'm working on a trip just so we can take a couple train rides!!
ReplyDeleteDo you leave MON? We leave TUE!
Love the train!! We have really enjoyed our Amtrak trips. Hope all goes great--they will love you, no worries. Tell Catherine hi for me! And have fun in Atlantic City...we will be in Ocean City in June...I love the Jersey shore! (Love is my favorite word in this comment lol). Fun seeing you at the library today and checking out books/videos for Aidan. Anyway, have a wonderful time and I'll see you when we all get back from our travels.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great vacation - take lots of photos and stay in touch with all of us stuck on the rock working!
ReplyDeleteWow ! You didn't tell me you were "Amtraking it" all the way across the country ... I may have to tag along :) That is going to be an awesome trip! Makes "Meeting the Parents" worth the trip huh (maybe??) You'll be fine - they're going to love our LaurieBelle !
ReplyDeleteSee you guys in a few days !! So excited ....
Thanks everyone! Stay tuned for updates, photos, essays and stuff! Can't wait...
ReplyDeleteOoops, posted too soon...yes CD, we leave Monday, where are you going?
ReplyDeleteGigi: I've never been to NJ...really excited to see the Jersey shore...yahooo
Cath: Come with us, just get your own room!
Hey Lauri - OMG! I have relatives in MN too and I have heard of White Bear Lake (did you know there are over 10,00 lakes in MN?) - anyway - how cool is that and yes, I've been to the Mall of America. Let me tell you, plan on staying the whole day and then some. Four floors and mega, mega shopping. I doubt you'll get through it all. We drop of the kids in the amusement park section and then usually hang out at the bar while they're riding - LOL! I'll email you today before the weekend as you're leaving on Monday and I won't be back at work until Tuesday.........have a super great time and all will be fine with the relatives!
