Do you ever notice when you go on vacation you have to work twice as hard with all the preparing and packing? Well, that is what it is like here at our house! We have a road trip to Minnesota planned to go see the Chief's sister, who is getting married on June 19th. We plan to leave early in the morning on Wednesday, the day after the boys get out of school! The Chief and I will both be working on Monday and Tuesday, so this is the weekend that I have to do all the shopping, laundry, and packing! So, I've finished the grocery shopping, and most of the laundry, and now I need to get the boys to pick out what they want to take. I plan to pack everything today, and then the last minute things on Tuesday night after I get home.
In addition, we are going to take the Chief's nephew with us. He is 15, and he lives in Mesa, AZ. We sent him a bus ticket, and he is riding the Greyhound today, and expected to be here about 5 this evening. He'll have a few days to get used to being here, and then he'll go on the road with us.
Our plans are to drive to North Platte, NE the first day which is about a 10 hour drive. We will stay overnight there and get back on the road early the next morning and drive the rest of the way to Rochester, MN where his sister, Kim lives. We'll stay there from Thursday evening til Sunday morning. Kim's three kids will also be there so it will be good to reconnect with them. The wedding is on Saturday in their backyard. I've never been to Minnesota before so this will be an opportunity for me to mark another state off my list of places I've been. When we leave on Father's Day, we'll be heading home the northern route and go through South Dakota, where we will stop to visit Mount Rushmore for a day. I'm looking forward to that. It's also another state I've never visited before! Then we'll come home on Tuesday. We plan to get home in time to go to boot camp that evening. We'll also have grocery shopping to do, and meal prep. It will be busy!
So, today, is kinda a frenzy at the Skelly place. But you understand why...because you've been there too!
