BigE and I are at the lake with the kids this week. It’s about two hours southeast of St Louis in the small town of Elkville, Illinois. Elkville is about 20 miles from Carbondale, Il, home of Southern Illinois University.

We’ve been coming here for about 7 years now. It’s a blast. My family has owned a farm in this area for over 90 years.

We are here until Wed. There is no Internet and no 3G so I’m not sure how many chances I’ll get to post. I suspect most will be from the phone.

If your interested in our vacation on the farm and the lake, I’ll be posting via @foursquare, tumblr, and here.

I’m excited, it will be nice to do nothing for a few days.
