"Senior" Trips

Senior Trips..

My son will be leaving tomorrow for his very long awaited  senior high trip. He will be touring Austria, Germany and Switzerland.  My grandmother's parents were from Germany and we have contacted extended family that is still there. My biggest hope is that it works out that he is able to meet them. 

We have been preparing for quite awhile now, but he wanted to pack his own luggage. Let's hope he has everything!

Now on to the  "Senior Trip 2" , although we are far far from being seniors

 ( too old for high school...and too young for

AARP...LOL ).

Susie and I have made the bold decision to DRIVE to Washington state!   We talked about it Sunday and now we are leaving on Wed.  

  From previous blog post you know Susie will not fly.  Those turn out to be the best trips ....you know the ones where you just throw everything in the car and GO.

Not really sure which direction we are going, but I'm sure it will be a trip to remember..

Can't decide if we want to see the Grand Canyon or Yellow Stone...

One thing is for sure, we are going to pack a lot into this trip...including taking my ten year old niece Maddy!  

Of course we are going to see my dad.

For the last ten years he escapes the hot as hell humid Louisiana summers to enjoy the Pacific Northwest. 

My favorite thing to do...picking lavender

and taking in the views from the top of Hurricane Ridge..

No road trip is complete without a shopping trip.
 So we will head over to Spokane for a little shopping at the Farm Chicks show.

So where ever we go or where ever we end up...I am certain that I will have a few crazy stories to share...
