You know, in my 21 years in Virginia, I never made it to a Monster Truck Jam. Those are nationwide, right? I'm going to start looking through the Chicago listings. Unfortunately, I've never heard those "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!" commercials out here. Is that a Va thing?
So excited for your adventure. While I'm slaving away at the office, I'll expect you to entertain me with this blog. Safe travels!

You could celebrate your completion of the bar exam w/a trip to the Thunder Nationals in Crete, IL (wherever that is) the following day...just bring ear plugs :)
