What is RAGBRAI?

“What is RAGBRAI” is a question worth answering. I will be riding it at the end of next July. Wikipedia says one thing and the RAGBRAI web site says another, but let me give you my version.

We Are Almost Packed

// August 24th, 2007 // 3 Comments » // Community, Personal, Relationships, Travel

5 days and counting until the movers come to load our stuff and we make the five day journey with kids to south Florida. Friends are helping with babysitting while we pack, and we are saying our goodbyes through tears of sadness and joy. People have been so kind to share their love for us in our departing. I am convinced we are night dieing yet, but things will never be the same for sure.
We are almost packed … almost. What is difficult about this move is that everything has to be in boxes. Not like moving across town where you just throw some stuff in the back of the car on the last trip. Everything but the bikes, the appliances, one-off items, and the furniture has to be in boxes. This packing is real work I tell ya. More updates soon as we head in that direction.
