Finally...

It is here!  The most anticipated 4-day vacation of the year is FINALLY here!! 

Tomorrow morning, we will embark on the 2012 version of the DLBT.  This year we head to Target Field in Minneapolis.  It is admittedly not going to be a fun drive (12 hours) but we'll endure no doubt. 

So, because you care, here is the tentative schedule:

• Thursday 7:00am - depart
• 7:01am - Paul has to pee
• Sometime around 12 hours later - arrival at our hotel.  Knees creak, back hurts...and that's just me.
• After check-in - the traditional kickoff dinner at Chili's where hopefully we can watch the Reds beat the Cubs.
• Friday 11:00am - Golf at Gross National Golf Club( http://www.minneapolisparks.org/default.asp?PageID=94&parkid=293 ).  With the addition of Shmoe this year we will have two 4-man teams battling in another epic scramble with the grand prize being lunch.  We play for big money!!
• After golf...who knows?  Hopefully it doesn't involve 11 shots.  And if it DOES involve 11 shots hopefully there is no pickle juice this time.  
• Saturday - only thing on the official Clark W. Griswold schedule is 6:10 Twins-Rays ballgame at Target Field.  
• Sunday 4:00am (yes approximately 4:00am) we return home.  My lord that is going to be awful.  But, it's worth it, right?  Right?????  

So there you are.  4 days of pure freedom.  Sorry, ladies.  It's not you, it's me.  Hope you're still around when we get back.  And have dinner waiting.  (yes, it's a joke)

And remember...
