Hmmmm, always wanted to tour Miller Brewery and the Jelly Belly Factory  :rofl; Kinda defeats the purpose of exercise though :urcrazy;
I know I can drive there, I drove to Road America a couple years ago and made it home in time to still see my way home. To erly to plan though, I hope to be finished with school and be working by then.

The day it was announced, I sent the news article to my husband. His reaction was, "Do you really want to go?" When I said yes he said we would start planning.  :2thumbsup;

My daughter attended the 1994( Altanta Georgia),  1996 ( Salt Lake City Utah)  and 1998 (Athens Ohio) Transplant Games.  She was with Team Nebraska. She still holds the record for girls 18 and under in bowling. She passed away in 2007, so when I found she still holds the record a few months ago, it just made my day. She enjoyed the games very much and made friends along the way.
