July 22, 2008 - 15 Weeks Old - Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail

As many of you know, we are going back East next week to vacation and visit family. Therefore, this week we have been quite busy in preparation for the trip (obtaining mini-van quotes, securing a mini-van, time share accomodations, buying Mets game tickets, White House tours information, etc.). As much as I've traveled, you'd think planning would be a snap. However, it is a whole other ball game when traveling with twins and with the extensive itinerary we have planned. On our 14 day trip we plan to be in NY, New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia, and the final destination of Florida. The first leg of our trip will be spent in New Jersey with my brother and his wife. During our time there, we plan on taking the boys into the city to do some touristy stuff, see a Mets game on our anniversary, visit some of Daniel's family, my aunt and sister, and EAT some great NY foods. We will then be picking up our mini-van and heading south to Virginia where my aunt and uncle live. Being that they are close to D.C., we plan on taking the White House tour and visiting some of the monuments. I think that will be cool especially since it is an election year. Go Obama!!! Before we leave Virginia, we will be visiting with Daniel's brother. We then head down to Atlanta to visit my sister and my nieces and nephews. The last leg of our trip will bring us to our time share swap in Florida. My parents will finally get to meet the boys!
We've tried to plan and anticipate as much as possible, but we are realistic. We are traveling with infants, so we may not get to do all the things we've planned or see all those we wanted to see, but we sure will try our best. I guess we better make sure to pack patience and flexibility ;)
