VACATION STARTS TOMORROW EVENING!...But we can’t think about that right now. Now is finals for our high school student. Now is wrapping up a busy work schedule. Now is taking our youngest to the dentist to get a tooth pulled. Now is the usual laundry and dishes. Now is...well, it’s anything but a vacation.
After a lovely long weekend, our vacation to-do list is short. This past week we:
- (Mostly) packed the camper. And by "packed" I mean that we threw crap (precious necessary stuff) through the door and hoped it landed well. Fingers crossed!
- Bought non-perishable food. We shop for perishable tonight.
- Fixed a mysterious clunk in the front end of the truck, and other regular truck maintenance projects.
- Organized and loaded the truck.
- Cleaned the house (not sayin’ it’s gonna stay that way by the time we leave)
- Put a hold on the mail.
- Prepared my travel Bible, uh I mean binder. This thing keeps me sane!! It has all of our reservations, pre bought tickets, maps, plans, master calendar...basically my brain because yeah, vacation brain is real.
- Registered kids for school next year. Deep breath.
Remaining on the to-do list:
- Perishable grocery shopping.
- Pack our last minute list. These are things we use everyday like pillows, hair brush, tooth brush, coffee maker, etc. (We never did buy a designated camper coffee maker...Which is odd considering the vital role it plays in the success and safety of our trips. Even the kids know that we don’t let Dad drive without it!)
