The Departure 

I am so incredibly excited.  At 11:00 tonight, Los Coyotes and Hutchinson Middle School's will be boarding American Airlines Flight 74 to Washington DC.  I am taking an overnight trip called a "Red-Eye."  We will be arriving at 6:55 am and we hit the ground running.  I'll keep you all posted once we arrive.
