CORRECTION:

Alas, the famous Wendy will not be accompanying my parents on the vacation. For those of you who know her well, you'll appreciate that the primary reason for her remaining in Michigan is her routine. Clearly, hotel-based vacations don't rightly lend themselves to daily viewing of The Price is Right, a microwaved hot dog lunch, and mid-afternoon naps followed by cheering the winners and booing the losers of Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy!. At least not this vacation, sadly.

She would also hate the taste of the water in the hotel.
She would also think the zoo smells funny and they wouldn't have good foods to eat.
She would also find the water waaay too cold.
She would also think P & Z should never take things from people, it's rude.

I think I quite miss having her around.

That being said, we can turn our focus to my parents actually spending time with me, my wife, and my stepkids. It's strange to have my own family here in SLC and consider that my parents can measure their time spent with them in hours.

Goal for Mom & Dad: help me teach Annie to play Euchre! Seriously, I haven't met a soul in this town who really knows the game yet. I wonder if I can actually play still...
