Valentine's Day is done and was a huge success! I think many of us still have aching feet from dancing on Saturday night. We are now 104 days away from our departure date and have no more large fundraisers in front of us. We are still a little short of our goal, but we hope to be able to make that money through lunch specials, donations, and a bake sale this spring.
Over the past two years the kids have done a great job working for their money. They are, of course, a group of teenagers, but for me they are superstars. I have rarely ever had to ask more than once for something to be done. They are always willing to help when asked and they know their goal.
We will be covering a huge span of Italy as we visit Rome, Naples, Capri, Pompeii, Florence, Pisa (hopefully), Venice, Milan, and then a train through the Alps to Zurich for our ride home. It is exciting for me to watch the kids begin to prepare for such a huge trip, and frankly they have little idea how to prepare. The seniors seem to be more excited for the trip than they are for graduation.
Our plane tickets have been purchased, our rental car has been reserved, and all of our stays have been booked. Now we are really just raising money for our play (food, tours, travel). I can just imagine the pictures and looks of awe that will soon become a part of the memories and lives of these six kids. I hope it is something they will never forget, I know it will be a trip I will remember always.
