Spring Break=Vacation

It's spring break for kids. I remember as a child enjoying that week in April where we would have a whole week off of school. Well, since Samantha is in Kindergarten, she is enjoying that beginning today. What does this mean. It means that following our Sunday services on Sunday, we will be loading up the Toyota for a road trip.

The first stop will be Erie, Pennsylvania to visit my folks. We will make a day trip to Cleveland to see our good friends Steve & Janice Howard who are taking up appointments at the International College for Officers in London. They are our kids godparents, and have really embraced that role. We love them like family.

I along with Dad and Tracy will be travelling to Toronto on Tuesday to see our friends the Yankees play against the Blue Jays. We are very excited about that. With the exchange rate and lack of interest in baseball north of the border we are able to get very good seats at the stadium formally known as Skydome, now known as the Rogers Centre or Center. I just heard on tonight's radio broadcast while driving people home from the Good Friday Service that future hall of famer Randy Johnson will be pitching for the Yankees. This is great. The last time I went to Toronto for a Yankee game, Roger Clemens was pitching.

After a few days in Erie, we will travel to Buffalo to visit Elaine's parents. While there, we will celebrate Elaine's father's 60th birthday. It is going to be a great weekend for the Smith family to all get together and celebrate Jim's first 60 years of life.

It promises to be a good week. We have been looking forward to it for some time. I will probably post a few during the week to update everyone on the good times.

I hope you all have a relaxing week. It's cool that you'll get to see Randy Johnson pitch. I have the clip that shows him decimating a bird with his fast ball. He releases the ball and the next thing you know there are feathers flying all around home plate. I wouldn't want to be the catcher who has to handle those pitches!
