These grown up looking pictures are actually from spring break 2009, when we took the kids on a cruise down the Mexican side of the Carribean.

Sitting on the curb was just this past spring at the Lincoln Memorial.

Skiing in 2009 .

The bottom two pictures are at sand dunes in Colorado! yes, there are dunes in Colorado and if you haven't seen them you absolutely need to take the trip!

It is almost 9:30 p.m. on Friday - tomorrow we leave! Well, we seem to be about 90% packed. The kids are going wild tonight - they are very excited about the adventure. We almost had a hiccup. Herb was checking flights last night and seats again and couldn't understand when he pulled up my tickets and checked for seats, the seat availability was totally different than his (we are on different ticket reservations). It turns out that when we made some minor changes to the tickets about 2 weeks ago, United book two of the tickets on the wrong day! If Herb hadn't discovered that we would have had a fine mess tomorrow morning. Thank goodness he is the detail guy he is! He spent over an hour on the phone with them late last night - they fixed it, were very apologetic and we each got 9,000 extra points in our account!!
