Hello, all! This summer has been so busy!!! And Monday we start Girl Scout Day Camp, so it gets even busier! Then the next week is Cub Scout Camp and Zoo Camp. So, we are insanely busy for the next two weeks. Then we can calm down and plan a vacation.
On the plus side, it is so easy for me to stay on plan when I'm not sitting around. I find that I want to nibble when I'm sitting around. Not good!
Vacation this year is a long weekend in Chicago. My sister lives on Lake Shore Drive and we will stay with her. Not sure what all we will do while there except for Lego Discovery Center and Lincoln Park Zoo. I love Chicago!
And I'm thinking seriously about adding a few days before or after to go to St. Louis. My husband and kids have never seen the Arch and I was too young to remember it. They appear to have a number of free museums and kid friendly places. Sounds good to me!
And, I'd really like to make a couple day trip up to Put-In-Bay and Sandusky, OH, to see the Carousel Museum and all of the cool nature aspects of the islands. Again, hubby and kids have never been there. I do remember the islands. I'd really like to do a bike tour while we are there, too.
Oh, yeah! Hubby and I are going to sign up for a 5K. There is one in Columbus in December called the Jingle Bell Run/Walk that benefits the Arthritis Foundation. I'm thinking that would be a great incentive for me to work on my walking this fall. Don't know if I'll make the kids walk with us or just make them stay home. It's $25 each for the adults. I'll have to check on the kids. I'm not paying $100 for this!!!
