We&#8217;re leaving<br \/>\nthursday evening sometime, and just driving 4 hours or so. The next two<br \/>\ndays are 8-10 hours of driving\/day. We&#8217;ve got our hotels reserved, and<br \/>\ngot half off 4 of the 6 nights we&#8217;re gone because we have the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.entertainment.com\/\" target=\"new1\">Entertainment Book<\/a>.<br \/>\nWe were going to do the entertainment book for the other nights too,<br \/>\nbut the hotel I had picked out said we couldn&#8217;t use it because they<br \/>\nonly honor it on sundays, even though the book says it is valid<br \/>\nanytime. So we said nevermind and picked a different hotel completely.<br \/>\nNow we&#8217;re staying at the Holiday Inn in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ichotelsgroup.com\/h\/d\/HI\/hd\/mspal\" target=\"new1\">St. Paul<\/a>, and Days Inn for the other nights., in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the.daysinn.com\/liverpool06820\" target=\"new1\">Liverpool, NY<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the.daysinn.com\/elkhart06125\" target=\"new1\">Elkhart, IN<\/a>. The Holiday Inn is right next to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rivercentre.org\/\" target=\"new1\">River Center<\/a>,<br \/>\nwhere Chris&#8217; graduation is, so we can walk to it instead of trying to<br \/>\ndrive around the city and park etc. That&#8217;s why we picked it. <\/p>\n<p>My radishes are supposed to be done growing this Friday, so of<br \/>\ncourse I&#8217;ll be gone on the official harvest day. I took a look at them<br \/>\ntoday and I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re going to be done growing yet, the<br \/>\nplants are huge, but the radishes themselves are pretty tiny still.<br \/>\nHopefully when we come back they&#8217;ll be ready to eat. Some of the<br \/>\nmesclin mix could probably be eaten right now, but I&#8217;m not going to<br \/>\npick any of it yet. It still has a long way to go before it finishes<br \/>\ngrowing. The bibb lettuce on the other hand, is not doing so well.<br \/>\nThere are a few plants that are looking ok, but half of them are really<br \/>\ntiny and clearly not going to grow well, if at all. They&#8217;re just tiny<br \/>\nsplotches in the dirt. Oh well. I&#8217;m not sure about the cucumbers<br \/>\neither. The plants are there, but they&#8217;re hardly growing at all.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s no sign of vine or fruit at all so far, and it&#8217;s half way to<br \/>\nharvest. If something doesn&#8217;t happen soon I&#8217;m going to have to give up<br \/>\non them. Overall something of a mediocre experience with the garden,<br \/>\nbut that&#8217;s ok. Not bad for a first attempt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started packing for the trip to St. Paul today.
