ready. set. vacay.

destination 
charleston
orlando

psst.  
this post was supposed to go out 
2 weeks ago. 
better late than never


this is what i do
as i ready myself for 
fun filled family vacay
spring break style

1.  PACK SUITCASE

 here are two of my suits
for poolside d-world.

blog
confession:
i try on every outfit before it goes in 
the suitcase.
little did i  know not everyone 
does this ritual.
call me cray cray.

 2. NAILS READY

this time i tried a new fan dangled nail process:
shellac

what do you think?
i'll let you know if it lasts through
1 road trip
2 theme parks and 
2 water parks...

 3. TICKETS

thanks to many military discounts
we can make a trip like this.
go navy!

 4. PROMO LUGGAGE TAGS

might have gotten some big sighs
from the teens when i tried to put 
these bad boys on their suitcases.
too old for that?
perhaps?
but not me...

 5. SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

too regimented?
naaaaah

 6. CAR SNACKS

we always get each car traveler
one salty
and 
one sweet
for the car ride.

can you guess who picked
raw almonds and red wine?

7.  LOAD THE CAR

good thing mr. man has good
spatial awareness.

he is able to pack multiple carryon bags,
one dog,
one dog pillow,
three teens,
two parents and
even a grag
in one 14 year old 
ford expedition.

stay tuned for more destination photos.
yes...
this is just the prep.

tell me how you prep 
for a family getaway?
