We went ahead and put the pup house and his suitcase (yes, he has his own bag) in the car, therefore Casper is fairly convinced that he should also be in the car. He's been insane, and now he's sulking. You'd think we'd gone ahead and left without him!

So here it is, 10pm the night before we leave and I'm done except for the bathroom items and meds that we'll be needing in the morning. I've also made a grocery list for our traditional first trip to Walmart after we get checked into the house. We'll be 18 miles from the nearest decent sized store, so we like to make sure we have food on hand.

In case you're thinking we're crazy, here's a panoramic view of our back yard starting Saturday afternoon. Is it any wonder I never want to come home?

You peeps have a great week. I don't think we have access to the interwebs this time, so I may not be checking in at all until we return home. I'll come back a year older and hopefully well rested!
