Itinerary

The time draws near for the first opportunity for a big vacation for the Simpson family. We have made short trips to different places around the province, but now we will get away for a few days.

Our Itinerary:

We plan to visit Amy, and our friends in Concord and surrounding areas for about a week starting on June 23rd. Alan and the boys will be available to help with gardening projects, cleaning garages or bedrooms, or other chores you don't want to do. That way they won't get into much trouble. Otherwise they think they are going to lay around and be treated like kings. HA!

We then have travel plans to see family for a few days in El Paso, Texas - Michelle's family. All her siblings will be there to to celebrate her father's birthday. The boys have been begging to go to Huaco Tanques, a very famous rock climbing destination near El Paso.

We will also see Alan's family in New Mexico for a few days. All of his siblings will be there too. (This starting to sound like a reunion tour.) This will be the first time in a long time the cousins will be together at one place. There will be plenty of good Mexican food in both places.

Since Ashley just had a new baby, and we have not been able to get down to see them yet, we will take the opportunity to visit SLC too. We are hoping Jacob will be able to drive down from Rexburg for the blessing of Oliver (the new baby). Within a couple of days of our leaving SLC, Ashley and Drue are moving to Lincoln, Nebraska where he will begin his doctorate program.

Then we will return to Canada, to our home and normal life. Summer will be in full swing then, and there are many festivals and celebrations planned. And of course it will be back to work to plan for another year and another trip.

See you soon.
