Now that Rachel is in the last part of her junior year, and the empty nest is fast approaching, I'm feeling nostalgic. Rachel and her friend Sam are flying to Florida tomorrow to spend a week with Dad and Sandy. Apparently Sam's parents are a little apprehensive about the girls traveling by themselves. Personally, I think they're at the perfect age to start exploring the world on their own.
