I’m excited that spring is finally here. That means the weather should start to get warmer out soon. Here in Wisconsin where I am, we are still getting snow, and my family is so ready for the snow to melt so we can get a better spring. There is a lot of traveling going on when the weather starts to get nicer out, especially in the next couple of months. Once my girls are out of school for the summer, we love to do a lot of traveling when possible. One thing that is must have for me while traveling, is a laptop.
