Freaky Friday rants and raves. June 18th

In an attempt to keep this thread "travel related" and make it OK with the Fodor's weekend police here goes! \/

Rant: If you are "traveling" to Minnesota the mosquitoes are freaking terrible outside.

Rave: I cashed in a CD this week worth several thousands which "traveled" to my mail box.

Rave: Leaving Monday for a trip to Maryland / Delaware to visit family. Going to Rehoboth Beach for the first time in 15 years--very excited about that and spending time with niece / nephews.

Rant: Learning footwork (on the ice) may be the death of me...the thought of traveling south to softer regions of my lower continent really frightens me some days!

Rave: Last day of school yesterday for my two girls. Both got excellent report cards! Trying to decide where to take them for a special dinner to celebrate.

Rant: Worked late every night this week. And the house shows it.

Rant/Rave: Planning trip to DC (Rave) but can't decide where to stay. Need to make a final decision but none of the options are perfect (Rant). So many great things to see (Rave) not enough time to see them all (Rant).

Thanks for asking mclaurie, my stepdaughter is doing much better! After two emergency surgeries she is still recuperating and is on bedrest for the rest of the summer.

Her dad and I are going to get her so she can spend the rest of the summer with us lounging on the beach.

Happy B-Day Bonnie! Didn't realize there are so many of us Geminis on this board!
