Hittin' the road

It's official - Brent and I are going on vacation in September!  My time off was secured a while back because of the bid-based schedule at PD.   We were waiting on word from Brent's new job and he found this week that it got approved... so for the first time in our relationship we are going somewhere on vacation!!  I'm sure we'll have our fair share of bickering while on the road, but in the end, we'll have fun.

Nothing is really planned out - we're thinking we'll just drive east until we need to turn around to make it back home on time.  We'll probably look for places to sleep as we go since we won't know exactly where we'll end up at the end of each day.  We can motor along at our own speed and not be rushed to get somewhere to check-in.  I think the rental car topic is still floating around.  We're not sure there is enough room in our coupes for a week on the road.  It depends on how light we're willing to travel, I think.  I know Brent doesn't have a problem wearing the same clothes for a week, but I don't want to ride in a car with him if he's going to be wearing the same clothes over and over and over.  HA!!

In other news...we're off for a mini-vacation this weekend for amateur radio's annual Field Day.  We're busting out of town early tomorrow and heading to the home of our alma mater, Laramie, Wyoming!!  Brent and I both love Laramie.  We've always said it was a place we could live happily ever after if the stars (i.e. jobs) aligned.  Hopefully our future homestead will be between here and there.

We'll be off in the boonies.  Brent will play radio man, I'll desperately attempt to finish an article submission for Leatherneck magazine, and Brinkley Miles will get to sniff new trees, chase different squirrels, and enjoy some cool mountain breezes!  Wooohoo for the weekend!
