"Big Trip"

Hey! We're going to take a trip! It's been years! Since Dad died, we've stuck around to be near Mother, but now that she is comfortably situated, we feel free to wander again!

It starts tomorrow - we'll drive to Sniders and spend two nights. Saturday we go to the University of Michigan/Eastern game, and Sunday is the Kanitz Family Reunion in Saline. I've been looking forward to it because it's the culmination of my Family Tree Project - we're taking 41 books with us, and most of them are reserved already.

Sunday night we'll stay in Fremont, Ohio - Monday night near State College, Pennsylvania (Chip said "Don't forget to get your shots!") - Tuesday night in Frederick, Maryland, and Wednesday - our destination - JANA'S HOUSE in Washington, D.C.

Wednesday is Jana's b-day, and her boss gave us all tickets to the Nationals baseball game - how much fun is that?!? Thursday is Dick's b-day, and he will be allowed to do almost whatever he wants.

Jana wants to show us her new office, which I'm really looking forward to, and
she wants to take us to an Improv performance also. (She's on the Board of WIT, Washington Improv Theater.) And there are dozens of virtual caches in D.C., so we'll never run out of things to do.

We'll most likely leave Sunday morning, September 24 and drive as far as Youngstown, Ohio.
The next night we'll either be home, or stop somewhere around Midland.

We are just about all packed - just last minute items to stick in the suitcase tomorrow morning, and then we're off. Go Blue! Go Nationals!
