Let the annual draining of funds for recreation begin! Last night in the mail, I finally received my tourist packets to plan our vacation. Every year we take a vacation.

I just received the material last night so IÂ’m not sure exactly what else weÂ’re doing yet. At this time, IÂ’m just excited over the fact I finally get to see three sites IÂ’ve wanted, and havenÂ’t had the chance to
