In just five long hot days, we will begin our journey to within a few short miles of paradise. I don't mean to say FWB is not paradise, but well....you know. I'll TRY to do a trip report, but well...you know about that too. It's the whole, I mean the whole family. Three cars, one jet ski :roll:, 6 kids, 7 adults. The kids have already about figured out they almost outnumber us. Publix here I come! It will be an adventure, it always is.


p.s.--I'll need a Sowal day to decompress.

Thanks. I'm excited to take Havannah and Jayda for the first time. I think they'll be caught up in the vortex too.

:yikes: Oh, my...it really came fast!

I know. I'm not moving too fast though. I did make a trip to Sam's and bought a bunch of crap. That's about it. No laundry done yet, no lists made, no hotel reservations for the trip. I think I need caffeine.

Laundry in dryer..check
Timer set and on the sprinkler to water the plants and wildlife...check
(I'm actually quite impressed with myself. I figured it out all by myself!)
More crap purchased...check

Packed....not so check
A million other details...not so much

But, I'll get there. I work best under pressure.

1 day and a wake up as Darlene would say....


p.s. i forgot to say that i carried about a million pots all around to the back patio so the sprinkler can reach them. got soaked by said sprinkler.
