Preparing for vacation

On Thursday morning, my wife, kids, and in-laws will load up our van and begin our trek to the East Coast. We are heading to Philadelphia for a family reunion. After the reunion, we head to the nation's capital for next week.

It will be a long trip there and back with two days in the van each way. I am bringing my laptop, cell phone with internet access, and a couple of books I am reading. I will be driving some of the time and will have baby duty for another portion. I doubt if I get too bored.

I know many will think I am insane for taking this trip with my in-laws. They are great people that I love dearly. I am sure that by the end of the each trip, I will be glad to get out of the van and away for a while.

While in Philly, I am planning on experiencing my first Philly Cheese Steak. I will have to budget my Weight Watcher points but I am excited to have a real Cheese Steak.

While we are off on our vacation, our great Real Estate Professional, Susan, will be listing our home. She will host an open house for us next Sunday. It would be fantastic if we come home and have to instantly looking at homes to move into.

These have been a few simple thoughts of my complex mind.
