It started with a plan

Actually, it started with three kids who wouldn't stop playing video games. Or maybe it started with a dad who had spent too many hours at work staring at a computer. Or maybe it was the mom who was sick and tired of cleaning up after everyone else. It doesn't really matter, because it all boils down to this:

We need a break.

This is us. We're the Delamarters.

Note the crazy eyes. For the record, we all have them, but some of us hide them better than others. 

This is a picture of us at the airport. We're not going anywhere, though. We're picking someone up. That's right: we're the chauffeurs for other people's adventures.

But not for much longer, because, for ten days this August, we are embarking on a series of epic, internet-breaking, life-changing, tighten-your-belt-and-hold-on-to-your-hat adventures, and we're doing it all without going more than 100 miles from home. In fact, a few of these adventures will be right in our own back yard.

Mom and dad are planning most of the fun, but each kid is responsible for planning one day. That includes preparing meals, budgeting, making reservations, everything. And, we're going to be chronicling the whole thing on this blog, because what's the point of having an amazing summer if you can't throw it in people's faces?

So stay with us, but be prepared for the bright glow of our awesomeness to melt your screens. The fun begins in August!
