Lists, Preparation, Packing

I decided to try and gussy up the blog site, make it a bit less vanilla.  Notice the pretty background.  And, I added a follow button so you can enter your email and get the posts emailed directly to you if you prefer. (This post is really a test of the aforementioned follow button.) The only other gadget I want to figure out is the mapping function.  That may take some time, blogging neophyte that I am.  But, we hope to have a map showing the progress we are making.

We've arranged for lawn service and Gidget watching and mail holds.  Now we're blowing up blow up beds to see which ones might leak making them sub-optimal for our trip, and getting last minute must haves like plastic wine glasses for picnics.  Our packing list is growing and growing.

The kiddies are back this weekend, then we get serious about the packing!
