Vacation Time

So it's getting closer and closer to our vacation. We have been debating about driving or flying. We know gas is expensive, but so is air fare. Specially when your trying to buy 5 tickets. We have looked at site after site trying to find somethng reasonable. It's so not happening. So we have made the decision that driving is what we're going to do.

We are very lucky with the fact that our kids travel very well. They must have gotten traveling feet from both of us. I hope they don't decide to float around as much as we did. It's nice to have roots somewhere. We can pretty much throw them in the car and they ride well.

We have decided that we are members of a technological age. We were talking about the things we would bring on our trip to keep them, and us, occupied. It seems there are a lot of electronics. Between gameboys, lap top, iPod, MP3 player, and DVDs, we are full with things that go beep. Thank goodness most of them have volume controls.

I'm also looking into those funny looking travel pillows that go around the back of your neck. Our kids don't really have any where to put their heads when they sleep. Their poor little heads just hang, and then they wake up with a crick. I'm looking into getting one for the navigator, too.

As excited as we are to be going, we really are excited about the trip home. Isn't that always the way? Vacations are great, but there is something to be said for coming home and sleeping in your own bed. No matter how great the bed is, I really like coming home to my own. I like being able to cuddle with my hubby, and roll into the dent we've made in our mattress.

We are looking forward to seeing some people we haven't seen in a very long time. we're even looking forward to seeing my mother. I actually don't mind seeing her. She just bought a new house. We have really been wanting to see it, and pictures just don't do it justice. It's really hard to get a concept even with the best pictures.

So, here we go. Wish us luck. And hopefully you're one of the lucky people we get to see.

Have a great day!
