Well hello there 2011, I'm glad to see you! As the new year starts, I've gone to town on my calendar tallying days down. The official count as of today is 64 days til vacation! Woo-freakin-hoo! I've been scouring the web for hot spots, motels, roadside attractions and just about anything cool. Being the stupendous girlfriend I am, the boy received Cubs vs. Rockies tickets to start our trip in Denver. I'm pretty stoked about that for two reasons 1: to see the cubs lose and 2: I'm a sucker for a good beer, hot dog and ball game. So now I must start the search for an awesome Rockies shirt to root for the hometown boys. Anyways, I've been over planning(like I always do) the trip and this is the estimated plan:
Friday, April 15: Hobart, IN- Omaha, NE
Saturday, April 16: Omaha, NE- Denver, CO: Stay with cousin Danielle(thank you!)
