Dear Pam D,

Dear Pam D,

I am (perhaps innapropriately) envious of you and your Lighthouse trip this year. Not only are we not attending Lighthouse this year (by my estimation, it's about a sixteen hour drive ... probably more like twenty if we actually take the kids, ha!) but thanks to the expense of our recent move, and all the money we've put into our soul-sucking rent house, our "Summer Vacation" this year will most likely be spent at the public library. Or any new friends we can make who have pools in their backyards.

Sounds like an exciting summer for those Escoe kids, doesn't it??
