So Much For That Idea...

So, I really thought I was gonna stay on top of this a little better but... I haven't. I'm gonna catch up again! We are trying to get ready to go out of town and not forgot anything while making sure we don't get charged for bags. It's kind of difficult to go on a trip these days! We have decided to all carry on our luggage so I have been measuring our bags to make sure they will fit and carefully planning what all to bring. I don't want to forget my camera and my walking shoes which both feel like they may almost fill my small suitcase. I'm getting a little nervous that I might be walking around Buffalo in the same clothes every day or bartering with the kids for space in their suitcases (which will cost me, I'm sure!) I am looking forward to experiencing Buffalo through the kid's eyes, being in cooler weather!!, seeing Brian's grandmother and being in cooler weather (oooohhhh can't wait... can you tell?).
