I leave for the RAAM in just 2 days, BUT

Today my focus is elsewhere. It's our 13th wedding anniversary so I am surprising my wife with a night at Ross Bridge, which is a local resort with a really sweet pool, great restaurant and lots to do. They even have a bagpiper that comes out at dusk and plays around the grounds. She's out shopping right now so I'll surprise her when she gets home and tell her to pack a bag because our room is ready. I already called to check:) I told my oldest son, who promptly replied with a sincere "NO FAIR!" 'cause he knows how fun the pool is. So, since I am about to be gone for a while and the resort is just down the street, we may take the kids with us for a little while to swim and have some quality family time before they go back to stay with Nanny. After that, it's just us and NO KIDS! Woohoo! That's a rare treat for us. Then I guess tomorrow I will pack for RAAM.
