Our trip to the Midwest gives us almost ten days. I thought that is a lot of time. But when I factor in the things I have planned it becomes a much shorter time frame. There are two drives to Kokomo with one overnight there for me. My sister is coming down for a couple of days. I have several days with my favorite aunt and uncle. My friend Doug invited me over for a couple of days and I have a night planned in Chicago. And bam that is about all.
I used to find four days was all I needed for a trip to the Midwest. Seems as I get older I want a little more to make sure I get done the things I want to. I never know when it will be my last trip back there. And I have thought that many times....this is the last trip. And then I feel a need to go again.
This year the trip is more for the littles. They get to spend some time with their mom and little sissy. The benefit is I get some time to visit with my family and friend without worrying about the littles.
It is coming up fast. Seems like just yesterday it was still a couple of months out. Guess that is what happens when you plan it six months in advance.....seems like a long time and then sneaks up on you. The littles are excited. The little man only wants to know why he has two sissy's. He wants a brother. He'll have to talk to him mom about that.
