the backpackers

We're off to Sri Lanka this week for a bit of sunshine and sand. The motivation is that our visa requires us to leave for renewal every 6 months or so...and since Silas will be here around month 6, we're going early. Just so happens there was a cheap ticket to an island paradise to meet the requirement. We'll take it.

We're staying at a backpacker lodge and relying on good ole Lonely Planet to guide us.



I'm not trying to brag...but I kind of am. Our entire family packed for the trip in the faithful old backpacker my mom bought me in college. We'll have another small backpack as a carry on. I consider this no small feat. Of course, with a 1 year old, stroller, and pregnant belly in tow...we won't exactly look like the backpackers of old. But it just shows, at 31 and counting, we've still got it in us:)

Stay tuned for pics from the beach later this week!
