I don't really plan many summer trips, because I'm usually preoccupied with planning Rachel's bday party. It's 3 months away and I always do this. This year she is torn between our typical backyard party with a marine/sea life theme and having her party at the local arcade. I vote for the arcade. :-) But we'll see what happens. All I know is that it will be on her actual bday, Saturday, July 30, 2011. It's a miracle that her party will happen on that day. One year we postponed it one day so that I could turn in her fair entries. It's a bit of a drive to get there and I really couldn't do it the morning of her party.
The only touchy part is that because she is not used to her party being on her actual date, she is expecting that we do something special with just our family on her bday...but that's when her party will be. Decisions, decisions. Stay tuned!
