Happy 4th of July: We're heading out

Hope everyone enjoys a restful and wonderful 4th of July weekend! Have fun at all those picnics and barbeques with family and friends! I hope you take a moment to reflect on what this day means.

As for me and my family, we are heading out! That's right, at around 2am it is "Orlando or bust" for us! The hubby and I aren't coffee drinkers so we will be strung out on Red Bull and AMP!! Pray for safe travel for us and that the kids sleep well.


I am just about done packing. I hope I remembered everything. I'm always afraid of forgetting something and I usually do. Here are a few of the necessities:

~pile of assorted flip flops (a girl's gotta match ya know)
~Nikes (for those long days at the Magic Kingdom)
~bikinis (for loungin' at the pool gettin' some Florida rays)
~lots of shorts and tanks (100 degree weather= no need for jeans or sweaters...prepare to sweat!)
~camera bag & gear (for capturing those unforgettable moments of my kids 1st Disney experiences!)
~hair brush & flat iron (gotta have sleek hair)
~sunglasses (duh)
~sunscreen (no sun is the best sun but if you're gonna be in it be protected)
~after-sun aloevera gel (in case you don't protect yourself quite enough..oops!)
~mascara & lipgloss (with a sun-kissed glow that's all ya really need)
~2009 Complete Disney World guide (pretty self-explanatory)
~GPS (so we actually make it there!)

Happy 4th!
