Almost ready to go!!

I had great visions of taking the last week and packing in an orderly fashion. Due to it actually getting hot out... we ended up swimming everyday instead. ;) So last night everything was pretty much thrown into suitcases and shoved in the back of the van. If you know me at all... this is soo against my Type A personality. lol But the sun was calling my name... and the sun won!

We have atleast a 15 hour drive ahead of us. We've NEVER driven that far! The new van will definitely help keep the fights to a minimum with the dual dvd's players, etc. But I know damn well it won't eliminate them all! The kids have assigned seats....basically Brooke has to sit by herself. lol She just irritates the hell out of the other 2 so she gets a row all to herself. ;) I have a HUGE basket of snacks and we'll have a cooler as well so they can just eat their way down to Florida. lol This also goes against my Type A personality.. because I cant stand my car dirty! But I'm taking one for the team. Matt and I are the type that just want to get from point A to point B with as little stopping as possible. We figure we'll have to stop 3 times for gas. And are planning on those 3 stops being no loner than 5 minutes each... the kids are going to kill us! haha

We'll be gone 17 days all together. 14 days at Disney and 3 days at a beach resort about an hour from Disney. I'm used to being with my kids all the time.... but not used to sharing a hotel room with 1 bathroom for that long! I much prefer the 4 bathrooms at home. lol Should be interesting to see how this goes.

I have planned this trip down to every little detail... remember Type A. ;) The notecards are ready, dining reservations are made, etc... now we'll see how much we follow them. We're down there for a long time and actually plan to RELAX some this trip... but Matt and I have never relaxed on a vacation. It's on the notecards though so we have to do it right?
