Coming to America!

Tomorrow, we board a Southwest flight bound for Chicago, and with that, our summer adventure begins.  There are five stops on the journey, taking about two and a half weeks.  We start in Chicago, head to my childhood hometown of Red Wing, Minnesota, go from there to Boston, then to Cas' college town of Hanover, New Hampshire and wrap it up, finally, in New York City.  

We're ready, too.  I loved our spring break road trip, and the New Orleans visit for my dad's birthday was a blast, but this represents a return to our extended, Heather-and-Cas, because-we're-teachers summer trip.  Last summer, was by necessity, spent close to home, but this summer?  This summer, we're off.  Leavin' on a jet plane.  On the road again.  Gone to look for America.  King of the road.  Pick the song- if it's about vacation, I bet we'll sing it loud and off key.  What I'm saying is, we're so ready.  

We'll leave tomorrow, and we'll keep moving until we're Homeward bound.  

Here we go.
