I am one of the 800,000 Department of Defense employees that received my furlough letter today. The furlough starts July 8th. We will be off for one day a week. My day "off" is Friday's. So we are looking at this as some extra vacation time. The thought is that we would head out Thursday's when I get home from work and just go some where. Any good destinations that are about a days ride from southwest Michigan (Kalamazoo, Battle Creek) area. Thanks.
