The car has black interior. Shudder and crank the A/C.

Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage. ~Regina Nadelson

Anticipation. Two weeks from today, our epic road trip begins. Naturally, I am full of questions. Will we be able to stay on track with our color-coded, spreadsheet-ed schedule of driving times, baseball games, and meals? Will we be able to avoid car trouble, bad traffic, and speeding tickets? Will the "all-you-can-eat" seats in Houston live up to my ridiculously high expectations? Only time will tell. The good news is that it's a lot harder to lose your luggage on a road trip than when flying. The other good news is that I will have blog-writing to distract me from the many hours of trying to avoid seeing the speedometer while Dustin's driving.

For the baseball-minded, here's the lowdown:
June 21 - Arizona Diamondbacks (vs. Yankees)
June 23 - Houston Astros (vs. Giants)
June 24 - Texas Rangers (vs. Pirates)
June 25 - Kansas City Royals (vs. Cardinals)
June 26 - Cincinnati Reds (vs. Indians)
June 27-July 3: In Chicago... friends, family, food (more on the food later) - we may hit a White Sox game, too...
July 3 - Chicago Cubs (vs. Reds)
July 4 - St. Louis Cardinals (vs. Brewers)
July 6 - Colorado Rockies (vs. Cardinals)

Good times, everyone. Good times. Stay tuned.
