Taking a Trip

Next week I may be even more sporadic than usual as we're getting ready to take a family trip. Note that if you travel with the kids or are visiting family, it's a trip, not a vacation.

We're flying to Denver, then driving to Boulder to say with friends. For the rest of the weekend we're going to be at their lake house with 2 other families. These are all people I've known for 20+ years, including our vacation buddies. There will be plenty of kids the HB's age as well.

Sunday evening (all the other kids have to go to school on Monday) we're gonna start a looooooooong drive to Carlsbad, NM. We'll stop near the CO/NM border for the night. The next morning we'll check out the Capulin Volcano before continuing to Carlsbad.

We have reservations to go on a ranger led tour of Carlsbad Caverns. We've been to some cool caves in Sequoia National Park, but we're really looking forward to this. After that, we'll head towards Albuquerque (with the obligatory stop in Roswell) and try to get there in the evening. It's going to be 3 serious days of driving. But, we have the audio books, DVD player, etc. Plus, it's new (to us) scenery, so it shouldn't be too bad.

I'll check in when I can.
