Found this website and unleashed the beast! My parents found a trip they wanna go on and all they have to do is bid.
Honduras, which was never on their radar. Now they are intrigued and they are bring their friends and sweeping them into the fun of planning and going on a great vacation.
If you haven't looked at the site try it out. Good deals, but so read the fine print.

Medicine

Sometimes the best thing to have in the car is the medicine. That can be anything from Tylenol for a headache to Dramamine for carsickness. Oh now don't forget about medicine of the unconventional kind like music or a nook to keep the kids busy.
Somedays, you just gotta have the tunes to get you through.
Today, I was able to listen to my music while the kids played the Nook in the backseat. Together! They shared and cooperated. It was crazy.
Today's car ride was smooth and easy!

How about a car seat?

If you don't already have extra seats for all your cars you should. Today was the day it finally happened. We are always just moving the seats from one car to another. Well, we forgot to move them from hubby's car back to mine, so I was without a booster for My daughter today.
Noticing this 1 hr before I needed to be at the Girl Scout meeting did not help as it takes an hour to get there.
So, I bit the bullet and put My DD in the car without a booster and headed to Target 15 mins away and bought a new booster.
Now there is no more switching. Get however many seats you need for each car and just have them!

Boy has it been awhile

The last trip we took was to Disney in Feb. While there my daughter was enrolled in classes offered by Disney. They were very educational and fun and one of the coolest things was being in the park before it opened.
We meet up with my brother and his family and my parents. It was fun. I just wish we would have had more time together. We couldn't go as long as everyone else because of my husband's job. What's worse is the kids got sick middle of the week. I got sick on the ride home.
The week after we got back we headed to Great Wolf Lodge for 2 nights. That was a lot of fun, and my husband and daughter practiced surfing skills. It was cold moving from one water activity to the next.
If you are a germ-a-phob, then I would not recommend the Lodge. So much spit and snot floating in the pool. You know people have to be peeing in it too!!!
Krispy Kreme's on the way home and we ate at The Cheese Shop in Williamsburg. I was a happy camper!
We have no big plans on the horizon.
We want to do another cruise, take the kids to Europe and hit the cabins in TN again. BUT, for now no plans.
We tend to be more spontaneous lately.
