Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair

We're off to San Francisco in two days and I'm super excited!! Tomorrow is Marcy's last day of work at Girl Scouts, which we've both come to terms with. Her more than me, but I dwell and that's a story that would lead to a more negative post, so by the by.....

We're off to San Francisco! :) Marcy and I taking eight of our 5th Grade Girl Scouts to bridge to the next level of Girl Scouting by walking across the Golden Gate Bridge. Can't get more symbolic than that!! The girls have been working hard the last five months to fundraise and plan. On Sunday, we took a field trip to the airport so they could learn the ins and outs of security, travel, and proper packing. Some of the girls have only been on an airplane once and most haven't flown in 5 or 6 years, so this will be the first time they really remember.

We're meeting at the airport at 6:00 a.m., much to the dismay of some of the parents (haha!) on Friday morning. Every day is jam packed with exciting activities, including a haunted night tour of Alcatraz, the Academy of Sciences Museum, the Cable Car Museum (this is the thing the girls are MOST excited about - and so is our trip budget, since it's FREE!), and of course the Bridging Event. The Bridging Event draws in over 3000 Girl Scouts from across the country, so that should be really cool to see.

I'll post pictures when we're back. Have a fantastic weekend, and Happy Mother's Day to all my fabulous friends who are fabulous mothers :) And, of course, an extra special Happy Mother's Day to my mom!!
