Vacation

The little ones keep asking "When are we going to Godfrey?"

It feels like we are at that in-between place where we still have so long to plan and plan and yet, if we don't hurry up and make reservations and other mundane things like that, we'll never get things together in time.

We spent a while tonight discussing the best snacks to take on the road, figuring in the mess to cost to quality factors. I was the only one voting for broccoli and dip, but maybe they'll come around in time.

We also went over the budget and figured out that the only way to make budget is the increase the budget. Some things can't be helped. Lodging, of course, is the biggest expense, and we even decided to look into buying a trailer. Obviously that raises the price altogether, so we're evaluating how much time we'd use it otherwise. Something to sleep on and discuss another day.
