Well, if there is one thing I can certainly claim as my own, it's the ability to be a slacker. I had almost, ALMOST, forgotten I had a blog here. I know when I started it I had big dreams (don't we all) of writing every so often and throwing all the great trips in the Vista on here with pictures and diagrams and arrows pointing here and there and asterisk for clarification of the finer points and so forth and so on. But then....... life. "Oh I'll update soon."
"Hey I need to write on the blog"
"What's that, I need to do?"

And the next thing you know a week, a few, a month, a few have rolled by. Pitiful. No worries though. Right? Today is the start of a new day, a new post and a long overdue update. Hopefully the next post will be about the amazing Assateague State Park trip in September. The weather, the sand, the ponies, the thrills and adventures. Because I need to get that one out of the way because of the big trip (for us) coming up.

A three state tour of the deep South. Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Well at least 10 days worth. Why there? Why not. I want to go to the Civil Rights Institute in Birmingham, The Gulf Shore, back to New Orleans. Out to Lake Charles. Stay tuned.
