Packing…

Today is July 31 (happy birthday Mom, Miles and Ellie!). The dog has been passed on to Mom; the house has been cleaned for our house sitters; the kids are yo-yo-ing between excitement and meltdown. How better to start a trip! Fortunately, I remain unemployed, so I can help at home – at least I think I’m helping.

We are feverishly packing clothes, pots, food, camping equipment, bikes and other stuff in preparation for our drive to Howell, Michigan tomorrow. We’ll stay a day in Michigan and then depart on Monday for Indiana Dunes State Park in Chesterton Indiana where we will meet with Spiro, Christie and family for the evening.
