Keep things simple. Prepare for anything. One bathroom is not enough. Go on recommendations (from people you trust). Expect the unexpected. Keep everyone’s personality in mind. Pack snacks (people that are fed are happy). Travel in small groups. Leave time to do absolutely nothing. Write a list. Check it twice. Do a little research ahead of time. Remain flexible. Keep expectations realistic (you will not lay out with young children around). Get organized before you go, there is nothing like coming home to a clean house. Let your husband pack nothing except the car.
As you read this I am on vacation. I hope I have taken my own advice. We tend to return to the same place year after year. Matt and I are like that – we like traditions. So I am hoping that right now we are on a beach – our feet in the sand (because our sons buried them), sipping on something refreshing – completely relaxed because we have made it our business not to be anywhere at any certain time – now that is what I call vacation!
See you soon! -Lisa
their great-grandfather. We have the luxury of not only enjoying the beach, but a boat too with tubing and knee boarding (yes, I knee board!). We will be heading down on Thursday to enjoy a long weekend of summer fun. Happy 4th everyone.
Kelly LaChance Guertin: I'm a lady with a cackle that can be heard in any room. If it comes to Pregnancy or Childbirth I have a real answer, from a mom who knows a little something about it. I have three children, The Boy, age 9; The Girl, age 7, and The Baby, just three years old!
