Well, it looks like it has happened again. Winter has finally passed us by and Summer is upon us. Having survived our first Wisconsin winter since leaving Arkansas, I know that my family is glad to see the warmer days ahead.

For this year's memorial day weekend we have headed down to Illinois where we will be firing up the grill and spending a little time with our families (both the in-laws and the out-laws).

Despite the nearly $4 a gallon gas prices, it had been over 6 months since we had made the journey and to keep from being marked off of everyone's Chrismas card lists, we bit the bullet and hit the road.

While I'd hoped to swing by a couple of car shows over the holiday weekend, it simply doesn't look like things are going to work out in my favor.

Despite having checked out the Old Cars Weekly online calendars before hitting the road, I'm afraid that we won't be in the right place at the right time.

The guys over at Mid-America Motorworks are getting ready again for the 10th Annual Funfest for air cooled VW's, which is nearly next door to where I grew up, but it looks like I will have to be back in the office before the fun begins. Maybe next year...

What is on your agenda for this holiday weekend?
