I'm actually really excited about having a weekend with Gabs because she doesn't get "mommy" time as much as she needs with her big sisters around!<br /><br />Everyone's trips sound wonderful, and Tara, I'm actually tagging along with my mom and dad so my expenses will be few... but any I have I WILL write them off! *grin*Krista Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772828583379163612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-40192757500440589882009-07-13T16:34:50.894-05:002009-07-13T16:34:50.894-05:00Oh, yes, I love research trips.

I have researched Duluth, MN, where my first series of Heartsong Romances are set (Duluth, 1905-6) as well as the Minnesota River Valley for an historical I wrote called Drums of the North Star, about the Sioux Indian Uprising of 1862.<br /><br />In September I'm taking another research trip (on the way to and from the ACFW Conference) looking into US Cavalry forts of the plains.<br /><br />Have fun researching your hometown. Like Jody says, take lots of pictures.Erica Vetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772984806574666959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-78150889615078684562009-07-13T08:49:40.190-05:002009-07-13T08:49:40.190-05:00Sounds like fun.

Him and his wife gave me a tour of the entire place and explained all kinds of stuff and answers every one of my silly questions!

We just took a trip Saturday as a family to a museum further north of us here in Michigan. I wanted to go to do research for my newest book, but my entire family loved the trip. One of my DD's took over 100 pictures and told me I could have doubles of her pic's. She wanted to "help" me! So, give your kids cameras and let them "help"!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.com
