Mom,
Brandon has started planning this trip in July.  It is the only time he can make it work with his schedule.  I am not sure if it will work for me, but he has become obsessed with it (meaning that he really feels that he is being inspired to plan this).  You and Dad are welcome to come with.  I know it is when Todd and Amy are here, that is a big problem.  I already told that to Brandon.  He has asked me to forward it to you to see if you want to try.  Please don't feel any pressure to go.
