Places to Go and Things to See

We're packed and beginning our countdown! Tomorrow, I present the inservice at Stanton. Hope it goes well -- with technology and the Internet it is always a toss-up. As I prepared today, the site was running extremely slow.

This is our tentative schedule. We've lists of things to see and do at each stop and will be looking for other points of interest as we go. We have mapping software and a GPS along but I imagine it will just be another way to get lost. I keep telling Chuck -- It's about the journey , not the destination and detours can lead to great things. We'll be more flexible about the trip since the only deadline we have is to be in Olympia over the weekend so we can visit with Mike.
