Vacation Anticipation

 

Aaahh, the anticipation of vacation. The countdowns, the planning, the packing...its half of the fun! In just a little over 24 hours we will be making our way to sunny Florida for a week of family fun in Orlando. (I asked Landon to give me an excited face and that is what I got.) The kids are so excited and I really couldn't sleep last night just because of excitement and the lists I had going in my mind.

Normally we vacation a bit later in the spring so I am truly looking forward to being poolside when its sunny and just 75 degree! (Notice I said PoolSIDE...if the kids want someone IN the pool they'll need to talk to their Dad about that.) Thank goodness for heated pools right? Here Savannah is excitedly sharing that there is just one more day in our countdown.

I have a lot of important decisions to make before we leave...you know really crucial stuff like what color to paint my toenails and how many pairs of flip flops to take... Decisions decisions...

One thing that seems odd is not having printed paperwork everywhere. My planning has all been done online so I have it all on my Kindle. Yay for technology! Condo confirmation, Disney details, maps, a couple of good books, and a music playlist - all here in one place.

Today has been spent making last minute preparations. After a lot of searching and not having any luck finding a cute pair of denim shorts at a good price (its just a bit too early in the season for sales!) I decided to make my own today. I plan to make the cuff semi-permanent with some Heat-n-Bond. Gotta love a good pair of cutoff shorts!

Now my bags are packed... Since I was packing for three of us I did a little bit each day this week so it hasn't been too overwhelming. I can't believe I'm actually done early! Okay, so this isn't my actual suitcase...Its just much prettier than mine...

Here is my actual suitcase. Landon and I are both packed in one but Savannah got her own. I hope to update my blog with photos throughout the week but you know how it is once you get away, so if I don't return for a week, you know where I'll be be...soaking up some sun or chatting with Cinderella!
