I'm trying to recapture my "zen" about it but
the weather is really putting a damper on my pre-trip excitement. I haven't even started packing yet! Coats and gloves for the fireworks aren't my idea of escaping winter, and the thing my DD is most excited about doing this trip is a manatee tour that we won't be able to do if it is as cold as forecast. A 7am snorkeling tour on a 40° morning just isn't going to happen.

We were supposed to go this past week and changed our dates to work around the girls' activities and lower crowds/prices, and it is coming back to haunt us.
