Griswold...Err- I mean Johnson Family Vacation

So today begins what we have been anxiously waiting for since October 2nd.  (I say we loosely, because back then I was the only one excited!)  Today we embark on our Trip Out West!!

I plan on posting pics and short updates on the blog.  I'll check in as often as our surroundings let us!  We would appreciate your prayers for safe traveling, safety at the campgrounds/hotels/cities/national parks, and KEEPING OUR SANITY!!

 Can you believe it?  Dylan is 11...my oldest boy is 11.  It utterly shocks me!  The years just keep rolling by.

I asked if he wanted to celebrate the big occasion with a pool party, but he said no.  I asked about a party at the house, but he said no.  So I asked him what he wanted to do.  He opted for having a friend over to spend the night and dinner out with family.  So that is what we did.  His friend came over around 1:00 and dinner was at 4:30.  It has been a great day, and I hope he has realized how much he is loved by so many people!

Happy birthday Dylan!  We love you.
