It's been a fast paced few weeks which ended this afternoon with last minute paperwork done and being able to finally close the office door behind me for the next twelve days.
All the work wasn't done however since when I got home I still needed to cut the grass and then load up the Element with all the gear that we needed for this trip. At about midnight we were done and have collapsed in bed. We'll be on the road in just a couple hours.
These yearly trips home to Michigan to spend the July 4th holiday with my family at the lake house are much looked forward to and I am really excited that I'll be adding a few days of fly fishing to the trip as well.
I'll be more or less living out of the Element and these carefully packed bags over the next dozen days. I hope that I didn't forget anything. It's not likely since I've been obsessing over everything for over a week now.
It seems like very year the Element takes on more of a burden and this trip is no different with the addition of a second kayak and then three bikes off the back. We're loaded down no doubt.
By the time you read this post we'll hopefully have passed through South Carolina, North Carolina, and be well into Tennessee. Fingers crossed we'll be at the lake house by dinner.
