Vacation

I thought I should let this blog’s three loyal readers know — well, maybe a few more than that — that Cacey, Spencer and I are headed off for a few days of rest and relaxation. This will be our third vacation with my brother-in-law and his family, and we’re looking forward to it! We’ll be back at the end of next week.

The BlackBerry is going on silent, the e-mail will be ignored, and I seriously doubt you will hear much from me on the blogging, Twitter or Facebook front. (Although never say never if inspiration strikes!)

On vacation, I tend to replace blogging — and many other activities — with reading. This time, the Kindle is allowing me to bring fewer books of the dead-tree variety (only four), so my suitcase will be quite a bit lighter.

As you might guess from the picture, we’ll be near Yosemite, and conditions permitting, my brother-in-law and I are inclined to attack Half Dome. We’re still reading up and preparing, so any tips from more experienced hikers are welcome. (That being said, we are aware of the need for boots, gloves and water!)

Other than that, the plan is to sleep in as long as possible, play with Spencer and my adorable nieces and nephews, and rest up for some very busy months ahead.

Talk to you all soon!
