Great installment, loved the night out for you and Tim, and some fun at the Cub's Den for the kids.
I really can't imagine going for 17 days. Wow is all I can say. "No Way" would be my DH response. Oh well, I will have to stick with my short trips!
BTW, Leslie, Tim may have scored more points in the TSM. But your accuracy rate was higher! I'm a sports nut, so I look at all statistics. I am recovering from my Brewer/National game yesterday afternoon, then 2 hour each way ride to see the Green Bay Packers in Monday night football last night. Are you a Cincy fan? We sat right behind the Cincy bench last night, what a FUN exhausting day! It was weird to watch the Packers without Brett.
You will have some major planning to do for a 17 day trip, can't wait for that PTR. What fun!
