so close
ok. i don't think another pair of children at 6 and 4 years of age could have done as well with 1,120 miles of driving over a 19 hour period as ours did. i will list the travel details sometime later in the week, but i am so very proud of everyone. we stuck to budget, except gas---a little over there because the AC sucks the life out of the horsepower---but we were under in food, so it's going to even out. the hotel in GA/FL was great and we are about 3 hours away from the Magic. Or maybe, with our anticipation, with our blessed travels, with our blessed kids, the Magic is already here. :-)

curiouser and curiouser
hello dear blog,
i'm sorry i've neglected you. it's now down to only four days left before the big trip and i'm not sure, but i think that the reason i've not been blogging is i've been a little tooo caught up in the anticipation of this trip to actually to put words to it, or to take time to try? regardless, i am here. i am hoping the drive is not as daunting as many purport it to be. i am hoping we have curtailed a majority of the pitfalls of those who have gone before us. i foolishly worry we'll stop for a restroom break and five miles down the road in the middle of nowhere i will hear, "i need to go potty again." i wonder when we finally tell them if they will be as excited as we've been about the whole experience, even the keeping it a secret part!
i wonder if the park will overwhlem them? i wonder if the rides will be too scary? i wonder if the characters will freka them out? i wonder if they'll throw temper tantrums? i ask myself if they will get too tired out and we've spread out time too thin? i'm scared they'll wander off. i wonder if luke will like sea world MORE than disney? i wonder if megan will pout seeing ariel with legs and nots a fin? i hope the weather holds out...i hope that they don't want to sepnd all the time at the pool instead. i hope they can sleep in the car and through the nites in a strange room.
anyway, blog. thanks for listening. if you could talk i bet you'd tell me, no worries, anytime, and that the only way to answer any of my questions is to just take it all as it comes and that despite all the questions, even if every thing i'm scared for ends up happening (along with some others that i haven't imagined) it will be worth it. the trip of a lifetime.
so it is written. so it shall be done.
