By The Summer of Extreme TravelingTM. Since last we met, various members of the intrepid Hawkeye family have suffered the indignities of: Cub Scout Day Camp; a 7-day cruise (suffering horribly, as you can imagine); a six-hour layover in Logan airport before a puddle-jumper flight from Boston via Washington, DC to Nashville (why, oh WHY did we not check out what plane was flying this route?); and Scout Camp (involving actual camping in an un-air-conditioned tent). This is just the beginning. We also are making two other trips this summer to see family, and a 16-hour day trip with the church to go and see a museum.

These serious indignities are aggravated by the threatening malady summerus curtailedus, because the kids go back to school on August 8th. Wow, that is only a month away! Mom is also going to be going back to work full-time, so let the changes begin!
