You're like us, I think. The thought of going away with out children sounds great at the time and for quite some time afterwards, but then when it comes time to either go or really start the planning the excitement fades and you cannot imagine leaving them behind.
HI!!!
Some things I'd recommend: 
. But now knowing what we do wish we had known better.
Hi CHERYL!Just popping in here to say a quick hiand I hope everyone is having a good long weekend!! I'm hoping to maybe get caught up a bit here tomorrow. Have a great Sunday everyone!
WE haven't taken any extensive road trips with them, but this past spring we knew we had a few 2+ hour road trips planned so we purchased the portable DVD players. This was a LIFESAVER. Amelia didn't make a peep during any of the trips.We just happen to have a few Disney DVD's
Now we just need something to play them on for her
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!Love the pics Cass!!!
Just got home with our sweetie after a mercy trip through the McDonald's drive thru..........
Seems like Miss Lina had quite a few adventures of her own the past few days. As she was getting on the boat for the three hour dinner cruise, her dress kind of blew up in the air, when she went to correct that problem, the "girls" got exposed. She said she felt like jumping off the boat. Looks like "the family curse" was busy in Chicago as well as Florida............
I know this is probably a silly idea, but have you ever thought of just looking at what cheaper flights you can get from where you are and then seeing what there is to do at those destinations?Oooh, sleeping is good
Ok, I just ran the numbers...(where is number boy when you need him!) and I don't think we will be driving
I figured it would cost us about $1000 in gas alone (and that's with a hybrid!) then 7-8 nights in a hotel ($750 on the cheap side) then about 14 days of food (lots of $$$ the way Rob eats!) and we haven't done anything yet!
I am going to look into some flights now
Google has really cool mapping/direction thing! You type in your starting address and your ending address and it comes up with a route for you, then if you want to change your route, you just drag the purple route and voila!
Shows you KMs or Miles and directions too!
It's 2610 KMS (about 1630 miles) from here to San Diego on the most direct route but the route I want to take is about 3143 Kms (about 1965 miles)
That's a lot of driving
4000 miles roundtrip!
Think so MG? MG is always right, so lookout California (and Idaho, Washington, Oregon too!) here we come
(This smilie is really cute...) Ooooh I miss those!!!!We only get them here in July/August.
Love the pics Cass!!!

MG--thanks for the tissue warning before listening to Stealing Cinderella, the song really got to me, especially after spending the last five days without our
How about the "Bad Moon Rising Crew"....We'd even have a theme song!
It's been storming here since about 7:30 this evening ... on top of the three storms we had this morning. It looks like we're going to have one long stormy night - power went out again around 9PM which is bad because our pump has been running in the basement due to all the rain.
Never a dull moment here in the Armpit of the Midwest.
You're welcome to it Jeff - I think we're supposed to get more of the same tomorrow.
Yes we are Mike. We have some thunderstorms rolling through right now but not the one's that Cass and I love the best. Gotta love those loud cracks of thunder and then the whole sky lights up!!
