The vacation begins.

So, where do we start with this trip - let's try at the beginning.

Everything this morning was going well - the kids were all up on time and ready to go. We were ready to go. And we still had 1/2 hour till we wanted to leave.

That was the best it would be for a while.

Getting the bike rack on the minivan, that was going to be a different story. The rack wouldn't quite sit right on back of the back door, and it was getting more and more difficult to make it stay where we wanted it to. We have three bikes that we wanted to bring down to HHI. And, seeing that Bailey had her bike "stolen" yesterday, there was no way we weren't going to bring it. Well, that changed and as such, her bike is still sitting in North East.

Onward - more later.
