I realized I needed to pack laundry soap, cleaning stuff, etc.. so I got that done last night.
The kids' DSs are charged and their chargers are packed.
There are a few dishes in the sink that I'm going to make DH wash while I am gone.
Now, Buds still sleeps in a crib because, if he isn't contained, he won't slow down enough to actually fall asleep. I'm debating on whether or not we should bring the pack & play or not.. I'm leaning towards not. I figure the hotels will have them if we need them but this might be a good time to get him used to sleeping in a regular bed. Maybe I should pack a clean crib sheet just in case though..
I remembered that we needed to pack COFFEE and so I ground an entire bag for our trip.. one handful at a time with our little coffee grinder. Packed sugar to go along with it. And filters. Coffee is a necessity.
Making Hubs get down the cooler and I can load it up when I get home. Who puts a cooler on the TOP SHELF in the garage??
Really wish I could get out of work early today.. I alternate from being excited to panicked! You would think that, after MONTHS of planning that I'd be better prepared!
Oh! I need to change the litter box! Better go do that now..

. It has been a real treat to read your posts as the weeks have counted down. Your excitement is evident, and so refreshing and fun. We should all approach our vacations with the kind of enthusiasm you have shown

The girls eventually fell asleep but Buds.. It was like he was wired for sound. We arrived at our hotel at 1am and he was bouncing off the walls! Speaking of our hotel, we're staying at a Country Inn & Suites that I got via Hotwire. Nice chain. Very clean, great breakfast. The only issue is that they put us in an economy king suite when I clearly checked a double. Hotwire told them that we wanted a king. The girl was super sweet an tried to find a different room but they were booked. Some sort of convention or something in the area. We got a portable crib for Buds and the kids had their pillows and blankets and stuff so they camped out on the floor. We were so exhausted, no one cared. So, today we got up, ate breakfast, and went to Penske Racing and the Nascar Hall if Fame. Hubs is a huge race fan. Huge. Not so much nascar, but he loves racing history and stuff. Now, I admit that I was kin of dreading it because I figured it would be boring, especially for the kids. But it was really cool! Lots of interactive stuff to keep the kids busy. Things we have noticed about North Carolina.. Everyone we talk to has been very friendly and helpful. You don't find that everywhere, believe me! Also, it is very clean. You don't see much litter on the sides of the road. Things are attractively landscaped, and buildings (even shopping centers) look NICE! Hubs and I both agree that it wouldn't be a bad place to live. We had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.. Food was good but they got my black bean burger wrong an the poor waitress forgot my toppings for it twice. There is a melting pot right next door to our hotel. We've always wanted to go to one, so we might eat dinner there tonight. We took it as fate that one was right there!
