Yeah, I'll call it day 0 of vacation since we don't fly out (fingers crossed)* until tomorrow morning. It was a pretty relaxing day. The kids started off with a sledding play dates with some of the neighborhood kids. Cyndie and I used that time to do some packing and wrapping of presents. Since we are getting to Lee's house in late afternoon on Christmas eve, we decided to try to wrap all the presents before we leave. We're done, but found out after doing so that you're not supposed to wrap presents for checked baggage. Oh well! If they have to open packages so be it. I stuck a sticky note on each package in the hope that that would help TSA determine if something needed opening or not.
*The flight is scheduled for 8:45. The airplane we fly on arrives from Baltimore at 8:15. The snow has started. We're praying we make it out okay. The flight is through Las Vegas, so as long as we get out of Milwaukee, we won't have any issues.
Emma and I took a run to Wal-Mart midday to get a few last minute items for the trip, and a couple of gifts. She's very generous with her money, especially when it comes to buying things for others. So much so that we have to encourage her to save it!
Now, the bags are packed for the most part. The house is mostly clean, we're basically ready to go. Cyndie and the kids will drop the dog of at the dog-sitter, and then it'll be dinner and early to bed for the flight tomorrow.
