california! :)

Mom and I are off to California for the week and we don't have to spend a penny. I'm excited to travel on someone else's dime and get out of here for the next six days. It's not going to be the easiest trip, but it will be a good break away from the in-your-face-everyday-things that remind us of Dad. 

The trip is to the annual meeting of an organization my dad co-founded. They are dedicating the 25th annual meeting to him, naming the foundation after him, and having a luncheon in his honor. We'll be seeing a lot of family friends we only see once a year or once ever few years and it will be good to remember Dad for all his accomplishments.

I am a little nervous to fly, though. I've flown to Australia twice but I haven't been on a plane for years. I'm sure I'll be fine when I hop back on a plane and get used to the swing of things again. Just a little nervous for the time being. If you think of it -- say a prayer for me!

Be back in a week! :)
