A week from today, Laurel will be flying with 44 other kids from Sam Brannan Middle School to Washington, DC and New York. They'll spend a week touring just about everything there is to see, from the Washington Monument to Ground Zero, from the White House to the Today Show. They'll see a Red Sox game and a Broadway musical, Ellis Island and the Holocaust Museum.
In preparation, we got her an ATM card she can use, and we upgraded her cell phone to one that has a built in camera - one less item to keep track of, one less item to lose. The trick will be fitting everything she thinks she will need into one suitcase and one carry-on bag.
We've been checking the weather, and it looks like it's only a little cooler than what we've been having here in Sacramento: highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s. The Weather Underground has a neat page where you can type in any zip code or city and get not only today's weather, but historical weather conditions as well.
She will be away for her birthday - but hey! maybe the restaurant will provide the birthday cake! (We'll have a small family birthday dinner for her this weekend.)
