And they’re off! The cars are packed, the menus are planned, the kids have the things they simply cannot live without for a week (and boy is it amazing to see what those things are when you’re dealing with children aged 6, 5 and 3!), and the adults are as ready as we’ll ever be. We just need to make two stops before we hit the road, and it’s vacation on! In my head, I am already sitting in my chair, feet propped up, book in my lap, huge glass of sweet tea by my side, listening to the wind in the trees and the waves lapping against the shoreline.
