April 2023

4/7/2023

Greetings Friends,

I hope you are doing well. April is here in southern Wisconsin along with its showers!

March was a jam-packed month (aren't they all). The first weekend, we finally made it ice skating. Both kids did great. After having not skated for a year, Sarah was flying on the ice without any help. Peter was having fun trying to keep up. Sandy and I both said that it was one of the highlights we've had as a family so far.

Also in March, we were offered last-minute tickets to a Monster Truck show. Peter was so excited to attend with Sandy. And Sarah loved having a memorable afternoon with me getting pizza and going to the Downtown Madison Children's Museum.

For spring break this year, we went to Michigan to visit Sandy's family. We had a fun long weekend. Some highlights included going to two museums, an indoor trampoline park, a nice nature walk, and spending quality time with family.

Last, but certainly not least, March brought St. Patrick's Day. And what do you know - the leprechaun used our toilets again this year.

This spring break season was the busiest one I've had since 2019. Some people relaxed in the Caribbean, while others explored Europe. The feedback I heard from everyone was overwhelmingly positive. As with traveling at any time, there can sometimes be delays, cancellations, and frustrations. But overall, it sounds like people had patience and great attitudes.

I haven't mentioned this in a while, but please check your passports. I can speak from experience now that processing times have significantly slowed down from what most people expect. We had Sarah's renewed this winter, and it took 12 weeks. We just sent Sandy's in, and I'm reading that it's expected to take even longer. Please check your passports now, and if they have less than 6 months before they expire, begin the renewal process.

As always, I'm here to help you plan your next vacation. Feel free to reach out anytime.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Brian
