The night before the Scholz Family leaves, and all through the house.....

It always amazes me how when we are leaving for any amount of time, the house has to be cleaned and gutted, bed sheets changed, and everything washed and aired out. Before we leave the house, even if we don't have a house sitter, it is super cleaned the week before. I guess this is to ensure we have enough stress on us the night before a trip so you can really enjoy getting out on the open road.

Tonight we were stressing with packing and getting the house cleaned up, and we were about to relax and I thought we could watch a movie but, our power went out instead. Just at 940pm the power went out and it just came back on at 11:10pm. Well, instead of a movie we made sandwiches, stared out the living room window to watch the street, and spent time with our moping dog. Rose, our 2 year old golden retriever normally sulks, and this week was bad. And tonight she was even worse. No matter how much fun we have with her, she always gives off this "woe is me" kinda vibe. Like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. She knows we are leaving and is extra sad tonight.

Now it is 1125pm and we are all in bed and getting ready to dream of our adventures.
