Family Vacation
Having been on a family vacation the past week or so, I have found it difficult to find time to write or plan for the blog. Our family had some vacation firsts. The kids flew on a plan for the first time and the five of us survived living in a small hotel room for 5 days.I had a very moving experience during the trip. I had promised myself that I would jog the National Mall to some extent and had mapped out a planned run that would take me out to the Lincoln memorial. I woke up at 6:30 am and started on my journey. Having walked over 10 miles the previous 2 days, I took my time. When I got to the memorial, I found myself the only person there.
I was able to take the above panorama without anyone else around. It seemed like forever, but was probably more like 5 minutes before anyone else showed up. I was moved by the grandeur of the monument. I moved out to the steps and looked out to the Washington monument and the Capital building in the distance.
Planning
I had some time to plan out a schedule that I will try and follow for the blog. I plan on posting on Wednesdays under the following schedule each month.

Apple Class Action Settlement
I received an interesting email this past weekend regarding a class action settlement that I may be a part of. The gist of it was that if your child made an unauthorized in-app purchase on a qualified app, you could be eligible for a $5 credit or a refund of the amount hat was charged to you. Sure enough I recalled that Lauren had bought some coins for some animal game a couple of years ago without our permission. The process to submit for the credit is easy and took me 5 minutes to complete. You can find out more information here, www.itunesinapppurchasesettlement.com.
