Yay! We're going on a trip!

Turn off the lights and lock the doors. We're also packing the cowboy hats and boots, cuz we don't want to scream Tourist in our school colors t-shirts. (Well, we might still be wearing those, but also with boots) The husband gets to work in Texas for a week on a programming thing, and we get to come along! The 8-year-old says flying on a plane has been her life-long dream. I'm so proud that she's realized it at such a young age! I'm a little concerned that she's going to coast from here on out, but perhaps we can replace it with another lifelong dream, like, say, performing a heroic feat or feeding the homeless. This middle child, giving us the Fonz move, has a lifelong dream to be a cowgirl, so we're going to have to keep our eye on her, make sure she doesn't run off to a wild horse ranch.

I'll still be blogging, but I haven't been for the last few days, what with all of the preparations. I get on Bloglines this morning, and you've all been blogging like crazy! I've got some definite reading to catch up on, so I'm off to it. I hope I packed correctly, and no one asks us to a fancy dinner...
