Where am I?

So I will be off work the next several days, and with no internet access for most of the time, so do not expect any new blogs or updates.

Where am I going do you ask?

We (the whole family) are going to Missouri for the weekend. Specifically Lathrop, which is right outside of Kansas City. We are planning on leaving tomorrow around 4, and driving thru the night (so the kids sleep for most of the time). We will be driving back on Monday day.

Why are we going to Missouri?

We are going to pay an official farewell as a family to Milton and Mae Shipp, Kim's grandparents, Connie's parents. Kim's older brother & sister will be there, along with most of the grandkids and great grand kids. Milton passed away abut 5 years ago, and Mae passed 2 years ago. There was a family decision to not have a funeral service here in Colorado Springs. They decided to wait and then have this service in Missouri where they were born and met. This also combines with a big Memorial day camp out that Kim's uncle has on his property every year.

I am not sure what we will do the rest of the time, other than let the kids run around like crazed monkeys in a safe country setting. And try and get some sleep. I do not anticipate that this will be a super restful vacation. But it should be fun, and a good chance for the boys to see a little more of the world.

I will try and get online Monday night or sometime on Tuesday and get some pictures posted.
