Oh. My. Word! After years of talking about this trip, and months of planning, tomorrow is the day! I’ve spent most of today packing, and packing, and packing…

I am taking the advice of a friend (thanks Sally) and packed each day of the boy’s clothes in gallon ziploc  bags. Each bag has their shorts, shirt, socks and underwear for the day.  I’m hoping this will avoid the “mom! Where are my clothes?” routine (that usually leads to me screaming) and then the suitcase explosion that develops as the trip unfolds. 

If it works, I am going to end up owing an apology to my future daughter-in-laws because my boys will have no idea how to pack for themselves.  But seriously, who am I kidding? I’ll probably end up with a suitcase full of clothes and empty ziplocs. But I tried. 

One last swim (to try to wear them out), and we are off to bed! Hope we can sleep- Because I am SO EXCITED!!!!
