Once a year, Pam and I plan a overnight trip for our kids without letting them know where we are heading.  This time we left on Tuesday, since there was no school for Veterans Day.  We packed their bags, and loaded them into the minivan, and began to head south.  They have been peppering us with guesses all week to where we were heading this time.  I will admit it is getting harder and harder to keep  these trips, secret.  We drove south for about an hour and half, and stopped for dinner. 

After dinner, we told them it was a long drive to the next stop.  We headed back two minutes later and ended up at our destination. 

We got a great internet deal, and we made a memory.  Besides that it rained all day outside (But not inside). 

Parents, don’t forget to chart the course for connecting with your kids!
