Countdown to Burning Man: 22 21 Days

I called El Monte RV today and re-scheduled our RV pick-up for a day earlier. Our new plan is to be on the Playa by Monday evening, August 27. Is it obvious we're looking forward to this event?

Tonight Mike put together our bike trailer; our two preschoolers fit in it perfectly. We'll hook the trailer up to one of the two cheap cruisers that we bought that should be arriving in the mail shortly. Seeing as how we have no garage or storage shed, I'm not sure what we're going to do with all of our new mobile equipment when we return from Burning Man. To quote Mike: "We'll worry about that when we get back."

For nighttime safety, we'll have battery-operated taillights on the back and sides of the trailer. For daytime safety, we'll have tall safety flags. Mike has forbidden me to spray paint the thing, but the kids understand that it just doesn't look interesting enough for Burning Man and they took it upon themselves to customize the outside with stuffed animals. I'm glad to see they got some of my decorating genes!
