Today is my last class for this term! My 8am class finished up last weekend so basically I have to go in at 1pm and share my nonfiction book. I worked on it all day yesterday. I can't wait to get this day over so I can come home and...clean!

Vegas, Baby!
We are going to Vegas! I'm so excited! Dan booked the hotel a couple of days ago so it's starting to feel real now.
We are actually going on a road trip and Vegas is a stop on the way. Dan is attending the Black Hat Conference for work in Vegas, so I will be working on my tan during the day and site seeing in the evenings.
Our tentative road trip plans are as follows:
- Minneapolis to Corn Palace
- Corn Palace to Mount Rushmore
- Mount Rushmore to Devil's Tower
- Devil's Tower to Yellowstone
- Yellowstone to Jackson Hole
- Jackson Hole to Cannon Beach
- Cannon Beach to Las Vegas (with a nice drive down Cali)
- Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon
- Grand Canyon to Canyon Lands
- Canyon Lands to Arches
- Arches to Denver
- Denver to Evansville!
We plan to leave after work on July 29th (my last day!) and get to the Corn Palace and then camp at a KOA. Getting from Minneapolis to Yellowstone will be quick. We'll be in Vegas by the evening of August 5th and then we'll head out of there the evening of August 8th. We figure we'll be in Evansville by the 13th. Exact details have yet to be worked out.
Anyway, I'm so excited!!
