As one might guess from the title of my first post, I enjoy traveling. In fact its one of my passions in life. I think travel is often the best educator of all. I routinely encourage the students in my classes to "get out" and live. Well I think it is safe for me to start the count down for a couple upcoming trips. In just over a week my wife and I will be accompanying our daughter to college orientation. It is a trip because she will be matriculating 4 hours from home. I find myself looking forward to returning to the campus I have only visited once and becoming more familiar with it and the area.
What I am really anticipating though is our annual family trip. It may be our last one as she goes off to college and my son approaches his junior year...although I hope not. Many of our fondest memories have to do with our travels around the world. This time we venture west again. I so look forward to introducing my kids to some of my favorite National Parks--after this trip they will have seen almost all of America's great public lands. It was my trip to Rocky Mountain NP as a boy that began my unrequited love affair with mountains, so I hope they love it as I have. We will explore the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Devil's Tower, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Rocky. I am so excited to get "on the road again" I find it hard to concentrate on what I must do at home over the next few days. :)
