Making a list and checking it twice....

How does one go on a road trip for almost 3 weeks?  Oh and did I mention that the temperature range is 22 - 103?  And that we need to be able to eat at least 2 meals/day out of our cooler?  Make a list!  I've been adding to "the list" for almost a year.  And now that we are less from 48 hours from departure that list is in my hand constantly.  We have a staging area set up in the dining room.  I would show you a picture but it is pretty overwhelming right now.

The kids travel binders and journals are ready to go.  The border surprises (more on that later) are all wrapped and labeled.  The laundry is done.  The food is purchased.

On tomorrow's agenda: ask bribe Lauren to vacuum the car, clean the house, make lists for the housesitter (she's the BEST!), transition the "piles" of stuff into actual bags, and follow up on some last minute details, reservations, etc.  We are getting so close to our ADVENTURE IN THE SILVER BULLET!
