I am super psyched!! Dave is bringing his own car so we will have the two of them. I think it was Elaine who told me she went without her own car one year and felt left out of some of the fun. So I guess Dave doesn't want to get left in the dust.

I am bringing my pup - Maggie, so she can be the Caravan mascot. She is a MINI loving fool for car rides. I have the car all rigged up for whipping around turns and keeping the dog restrained. I'm not too worried about her, she is better than most children.

Okay, I've got wine for the wine tasting night

... canned goods for the locals

... cash for ice cream runs

... Is anyone having a cookout?

I left myself off many of the preplanned items since I want to look out for my pup's good time. But I am hoping there will be some places I can kinda slide in at the last minute.

Share some experiences if you don't mind? Give us all more to look forward to.
