Finally - the McD's are getting a family vaction together...
We're going to St. Louis on our summer trip

- we can go to the Zoo and go see the Arch. Have lunch on a river boat. (we may get free tix to the Cards game if the DH remembers to e-mail the chick that works there - but we will be plenty busy w/o those too!) We will also go to Six Flags there and visit various museums - the museums are free (we have passes to the ones here so it's free there), the zoo is free, Six Flags is free (passes here too) and the Cards will be free if we get the tix - could we have planned a better vacation....
I am so very excited - though the 10+ hour drive may leave us a little "closer" than we may care for at the time, but the kids will remember it - for a long time. (I have car bingo printed out and states for the license plate game - the kids are looking at me strangely - they have their lists of video games and DVDs they want to take - remember when you only had the company of your family to keep you occupied!)
and...
Lest you think it a good time to sneak into Dennie's house and clean her out of books and computers - we will have house sitters - notice for those who know who is watching the house I said plural - *grrr* - but what are ya gonna do - for free.
I will be back online sometime next week - y'all have a great summer....
oh and I have a great new book to take w/ me and read - Thanks Bailey! and Raine -
(and hopefully the book). ;-)
Drive safely!
