So unless this is your first time reading my site you are aware that I am about to start my journey back to the states via Kuwait, and Germany ect. I have been planning my vacation more and more as I leave in a few days. Well I got focused today and think I may have nailed down most of the details…my little itinerary has all the priorities included…here take a look:
Major Event #1:
That’s right, what is more American then baseball, and there is no place like Wrigley, and no team like the cubs. And I will be there just early enough in the season to miss there yearly fallout where they give game and the pennant away…Arrrhhh, maybe a good luck visit from Afghanistan will serve them well this year. Either way, I am getting tickets, and if I don’t get tickets, I am scalping some….going to Wrigley. Here I come 8$ beers!!
After the game, I am working on a little day date…you know…shopping, Italian food, horse drawn taxis….the works. Anything worth doing is worth doing right.
Major Event #2 (Road trip)
Oh yes, I can feel the mist…
What a site…and only one country away from the beautiful US. This is on a list of places to go before I die… So I figure I should do it before I come back to war…(haha) alright back joke. But it turns out that after some investigating, this place has more to offer then just cascading water…
Casino??
Ahhh yes, a little gambling….Don’t mind if I do. I feel lucky anyway.
A 30,000 square ft indoor water park…sweet. I might have to drown a couple of Canadians in the pool but otherwise should be good clean fun…unless that fat kid in the top picture pees in the pool. Then not clean…but still fun!!
Thousands of butterflies flying around and enjoying life…sounds like a Woodstock hallucination to me, but it has been described to me by a very persuasive person as pretty cool. I guess the idea is to wear a bright pastel shirt to trick the butterflies into thinking you are a 6ft walking flower and then watch them try and cross pollinate your sleeve with someone else’s shoulder. Should make for some crazy pictures and another thing off the list of things to do. That’s 2 in as many days.
I hope that Emmy doesn’t mind a few hours in her cage in the car with the windows down. I will just have to make sure to wear her out during the day. I know it sounds impossible to wear out a puppy and even harder to imagine for anyone that has met Emmy, but I have a plan…
Other then plenty off space to play at the campgrounds, (Great sites, fireplaces, grills, basketball, tennis, pools, you name it) There is some of the best hiking and “Whitewater” hiking trails in the Midwest within 10 miles of our site. I am sure she will need her rest to process all the new smells we’ll find her on more then 30 miles of trails…all on her leash…(she loves to swim) Plus the bulk of the trip is going to be hiking and camping and RELAXING by the grill with steaks soaked in Jack Daniel’s and enjoying the good company so I think she can take a few hours in the car while we eat or go do whatever.
And then finally:
Notice the view of the falls, good eats, great memories
I know someone that will love this place…MMmmm
