Amurica!

We're back!  We landed at Dulles International last night around 7:15 after a bit of a delay in New York.  I guess it's what you would call "bitter-sweet."  We had such a great time in Europe, and want to go back as soon as we can, but it was also nice to see some familiar faces and not have to live out of a backpack any more.

In the next week I plan on writing a detailed account of our entire trip.  Day 1 to day 15 should be covered very throroughly.  I probably won't put it up here as a blog post, unless a bunch of you want me to.  As of now I plan on just writing it as a word document and e-mailing it to the family, and the main purpose is to keep it for my records.  My dad's side of the family has a bit of a tradition of keeping journals (and now blogs) when they travel, and it's always interesting to go back 20 years after the fact and read about all the fond memories.

So, that's about it for now with the travel blog.

However, I am enjoying this whole blogging thing. And, from what I can tell, everybody else seems to be enjoying as well.  So, I think I'm going to start another little sports blog just to mess around with and talk about various sports topics.  I have no idea if anybody will actually read it or not, but I'm gonna try it out.  It's not going to be anything too extensive...maybe 3 posts a week for a while and see how it goes from there.

I'll provide a link to the sports blog on facebook once I get it up and running, and if anybody wants that detailed account of the trip (other than my family, I know you guys do) please let me know.

Welp, see ya later!

Mind the gap,
Mark
