Sorry for the lack of posts

Our CB (Chief Blogger) has been sidetracked with her new online classes she has to take for certification in IL and this blog has suffered. Hopefully everyone is still a fan and will continue to tune in for more updates soon. I have spent time recently thinking about what we can do to make the blog better and more interactive, so I figure that in addition to recaps of the Midwest Family, we can also make it more of a "stream of consciousness" on random subjects that might interest us and/or the readers. Items such as investing, sports, you name it its fair game. Topic #2: Comments. News Alert....We enjoy reading comments about the same as you enjoy reading posts. This lead me to the following observation....The counter on the front page lists that this blog has been visited by over 2100 people in 114 countries. This stat makes me wonder how cool it would be to hear from more people than the usual 4. Keep your eyes open for some questions that we will pose at the bottom of some posts. We look forward to hearing everyones response.

Weekend Getaway

Decided yesterday that this weekend would be a great time to get away and explore another country. So that means we are going on an island adventure to Indonesia. Part of Indonesia actually wraps itself up toward these "neck of the woods" and makes for a wonderfully relaxing and quick getaway. We will be staying at Angsana Resort and Spa (picture at the bottom). The resort has the following to say about itself:

"Perfectly nestled in Tanjung Said Bay in Indonesia, overlooking the alluring South China Sea, Angsana Resort & Spa Bintan is a cozy enclave featuring touches of contemporary Asian design.

Enjoy a revitalizing twin massage with your partner at the romantic outdoor pavilions. Feel the gentle sea breeze ravish your body while casting an idle glimpse at dreamy silhouettes of swaying palm trees. The spacious sleeping and day activity areas in all Angsana rooms feature dulcet earth tones, which effortlessly offset the resort's verdant tropical environs."

Stay tuned for a post next week with pictures and updates on our adventure....
