Holy crap, we’re leaving Texas.
Not for good, mind you – Austin still feels like vacation to this northerner. But we are hitting the road for a couple of fun trips.
SAN FRANCISCO – August 10-13
Stacey’s company is sending her to UXWeek – a top-end conference for User Experience leads. She’ll learn a lot, I’ll ride my bike to coffee shops and eat seafood.
Actually, we do get a couple days to play and hope to take in a ballgame that Sunday at a park we’ve never been to, and see my cousin and a couple of friends. Karen and Corky are watching the kids – an amazingly-nice thing for them to do.
TOUR DE MIDWEST – September 23-October 4
This is a big trip – kiddos included this time. We were going to drive, but realize how sucky that would be with two, 16-month-old toddlers in a car for a total of four days. This schedule is still being worked on, BTW.
09.22 – 09.25 Galena, IL for the Goeres Family Reunion
09.26 Stopover in South Bend, IN to see the Bell family
09.27 Stopover in St. Joe, MI to see the Finnigans
09.28 – 09.30 Ashley Family time in Allegan, MI and Kalamazoo, MI (look at this sweet house my sister is buying – but don’t make fun of the bushes)
10.01 – 10.04 Doyle Family time and friends in Chicago, IL
For the last few days we rented a condo close to Comiskey Park. I’m not a man to upset the baseball Gods, so let’s just say I hope the White Sox are still playing at that time of year. The condo is big, has a great party deck on the third floor and overlooks the city (best view from the Southside, natch).
Hope to see y’all soon enough!
The bushes are cute!! Don’t dis on them!
Soooo…is Oak Park too far from the city for you guys? Don’t want to bring your passports? Well, we have gotten our house all ready for you to join us…so, now we are just going to have to move out to an efficiency in the Austin neighborhood to save some money. Jerks.
Can’t wait to see ya!!!
Efficiency? Austin? WTF…
We’re renting something up with room for possible family babysitters. Plus family will be in and out, we figure, so we really felt it best to rent.
BTW – we can’t wait to hang out with you guys and Rylan.
