Mom and Dad are leavin' on some jet planes....

After recovering from an awful cold the last few days, Mike and I are busily getting ready to head off into different directions. I am going on a "Friends Fabulous (We're turning Forty) Get-A-Way" with my bestest of friends from jr. high and highschool for a long weekend in Palm Springs. Julie is flying in from Juneau, Alaska, Kathleen coming from Phoenix, Arizona and Inger, Terri and I are all flying from here in Washington.

Girls.....we are going to have a blast!!!

Mike is heading to Boston on the same day with his Master's Crew-mates to compete in the Head of Charles Regatta. His dad will also fly from Seattle to New Jersey and meet up with Mike's brother, Dave, and they will then drive to Boston to watch Mike and his buddies race on Saturday. I know they are going to have a great race!!! I have the kids all squared away with friends so Mike and I can go on these two different trips. It was so weird that they both landed on the same weekend considering we rarely travel without the whole family or together but we were still able to make it work.

Here is photo of the 4 guys that will be rowing together at the Head of the Charles Regatta http://www.hocr.org/home/default.asp

I will post photos from both fun trips when we return, in the meanwhile, have a great rest of the week and terrific weekend!!!
