better late than never

this is what i do

as i ready myself for

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?
