We're Hitting the Road.....

We are getting ready to head out on a little trip.......and might I add that the "boys" in this house are very anxious for our little getaway. They have been talking about it for weeks and the time is finally here......we are hitting the road tomorrow for a fun filled, action packed weekend.

Any guesses where we might be going??

How about a small hint......

Take a look at the photo below courtesy of Bus!nessweek.com

Did you figure it out???

No.....Maybe you should look at the little guy below, I bet that will help:)


Yep....you guessed it...we are headed to South Bend, Indiana to visit the University of Notre Dame where we will be meeting up with the rest of the "Gaelic" family.

Pat's parents are renting a house right off campus for the next few weeks and we are all going out to attend some of the upcoming games. If I forgot to mention it before.....they are DIE HARD FANS!

Each year, Pat tries to make it to at least one home game. I have gone out once before, but this will be the first trip for Nick and Sarah. Nick is so excited he can barely stand it. He had never attended a professional or college football game. Sarah....well she is still convinced that we are going to the beach....she equates visiting "Grammy and Pops" to our trips to Cape Cod. She is in for a rude awakening when we arrive in South Bend.

We are all set to go.......in addition to all of our ND attire, we pulled out the winter gear....hats, scarves, gloves, and winter coats. We are hoping we won't need them, but you never know!!

I probably won't get a chance to post/blog until we get back next week, so I thought I would share a little cuteness in the meantime......


We had a really cool weekend and had to layer up to go outside. The trees are really changing color......it is so beautiful!!! Give it another week or two and the leaves will start dropping like crazy. It will be lots of fun for the kids and it makes for great pictures, but it sure stinks whe you have to clean them up in your yard....


Just playing around with some layouts.....Since I actually mastered photoshop and blog design, I have decided to layout/design our Christmas Card this year......I have a couple of ideas running through my head.....but we'll see how it goes.

Okay my friends.....I am out of here. I only have one more thing to say......


GO IRISH!!!!!!!
