Maps and Rainy Days

Us little "Mountain Mice" are so excited! In just under two weeks, we'll be leaving Truckee and on our way to Europe. In the meantime, we've been busy planning everything from where we're going, where we're staying, and (at Dad's urging) what we're bringing (see this weekends post for more details on that). Anyway, one of our biggest helpers in the planning has been this big 'ol thing:

That's our handy-dandy map. Dad ordered it off the internet a few weeks ago and ever since then we've been using as a reference guide and a tracker of our possible destinations. The fact that it's laminated is very handy indeed....

Outside the weather is pretty yucky, so in the meantime I've been going over some of my French and failing to pronounce the names of various towns we're visiting. Practice makes perfect, so I'd better keep trying. Until next time!
