The Undiscovered Country

Off the Grid

Tomorrow we're leaving to spend a few days at Yellowstone. Tom has wanted to go since last year when we watched a documentary on it.

Some of my best memories growing up were the road trips we took which included Meteor Crater and Grand Canyon. It wasn't so much the destination that I remembered so much, but the trip itself and camping at KOAs on the way.

I decided even before Tom was born that I wanted to give him similar memories. We won't be staying at KOAs on the way, but as far as Yellowstone goes, we did rent a cabin for four days. The best part: No cell or internet! There is only one landlline on the entire lodge property meant for emergencies only.

I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to it. No drama from Facebook to deal with, and no phone calls, texts or emails from my employers. Boy was my boss disappointed when he asked if I would be available by phone and my response was a rather gleeful, "Nope!"

My only concern at this point is whether or not I have enough room on my memory cards in my cameras (you read that right. Cameras. As in plural. As in three). I plan on taking literally thousands of pictures with all of them. I am so going to look like the quintessential tourist with multiple cameras hanging from my shoulders.

It's gonna be awesome.

I will also bring along my laptop, so I can at least download my pictures at the end of day.

Don't worry, I will link the best ones when we get back. In the meantime, you all have a terrific week!
