Wait till they make you take all 29 days, forced. Not at the time you would like to go but at their shut down times. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but hubby has to take these forced shut down. He went from 220 hours of vacation time, by the end of the year after all the shut down days, he will have none. We're lucky he has that many, there are many who don't. It's a crappy time right now.

On a lighter note, have fun!!

Have a great time!

That was the original plan actually!! We're supposed to be shutdown one week per month, except June and October. We have to take vacation days during the shutdown, but they were "nice" enough to center the weeks around a holiday if possible (Memorial Day Monday). It would total 28 days, and most people don't have that many so we would end up with unpaid towards the end. BUT!!!!!!! They just announced we're sticking with the May shutdown and again in July, but that's it then until December. Our business has picked up tremendously in recent weeks.

Sue, sounds good! I still have your cell phone number. Are you off any days?

LOL Do you want the answer I give Ed when he asks if I need help? LOL Seriously, tho- I'm only off on Monday. The plan is to be in DC then. BUT- I'm done work at 1:30.

OK, maybe you can swing by one day after work and they can play in the backyard. Depends though.....if I stick to what I want to do, I won't have time. LOL
