    The 28th huh? Well, I’ll have my things ready to go and WILL bring my hiking boots. As you know, I am insanely jealous of the two of you going on this trip SO, I think it is only fitting that I say…tag along. I can certainly load up the CRV with all the camping necessities and be on my way. We can set up walkie-talkie’s to stay in touch whilst playing “auto bingo” (my favorite game), and I’ll drive ahead, set-up camp and build a wicked campfire in which to toast marshmallows for s’mores. Heck my entire cargo hold could stocked with chocolate bars, grahams and marshmallows. I’m rolling my sleeping bag now, anxiously awaiting your reply.

    Ummm…. now how am I supposed to turn that offer down!?! We’d get to spend so much time with “The LJ” AND have our camp set up AND have s’mores?!? What’s not to like!?! DEAL!
