May is looking kind of boring…
April 26th, 2011 | 
Author: I was digging for some paperwork today, and came across the folder from our annual conference for NDACP. It got me to thinking…one year ago I was looking forward to going to NDACP next week. Following NDACP, I was driving back to Minot to board a plane. My wife…myself…minus the children…heading for a three night stay in a resort on the beach in Miami, followed by a five night cruise through the Caribbean!
This May…my wife…myself…three children….home….work….you get the point!
I suppose we will have to make the best of it and hit up the parks and enjoy this spring weather that seems to be trying to stick around! We may have to have some more impromptu weekends. We both had last Friday off, so I called my wife on Thursday shortly before 9 PM and said pack the suitcase for a two-night stay. I headed home, loaded the family in the van, and off we went to Billings for a few nights!
It may not be the Caribbean, or Miami, or a beach, but sometimes a person just needs to get away!
Who know, maybe next weekend we’ll be knocking on Allison’s door:-)

Vacation to Tucson
What a week I had last week. My wife and I loaded up the three children into the van, and off we drove to Tucson, AZ. We drove straight through, which took 30 hours, and ‘battling’ a blizzard all the way through Wyoming, but made it Friday evening!
We had a wonderful time (as we always do in Tucson)! We took the kids to the zoo, and hit up Old Tucson, and of course did a WHOLE LOTTA SHOPPING! (including the Tanque Verde Swapmeet!!!) The best part of the trip was Thursday’s 90 degree weather!
On Wednesday we loaded up and headed to Phoenix. While there we met some good friends at Organ Stop Pizza. While you are enjoying your pizza, an organ lifts out from the middle of the room, and you are surrounded by pipes (even from the ceiling), and a man begins playing the organ. The music literally fills the room! It was quite an experience!

We left to come home on Friday, and made it a slow, enjoyable drive. We arrived home Sunday afternoon. The problem began Monday morning! I went searching for my keys, and they are nowhere to be found? As of this post, still no keys? Thankfully, the keys to my car were left home, and I had the van key on me. The rest of my keys…keep an eye for them if you’re traveling between North Dakota and Arizona!
