LOADIN' UP AND HEADIN' OUT I was able to get most of what we wanted to bring into totes; we put the full ones into empty ones 'cause I was sure we'd need some in Florida (with the high humidity, storing things in boxes in the garage [no basement] is NOT an option). The carriage that would bring us to the Land of Sunshine & Warmth As we planned to leave at 4 a.m., we packed up the day before. As it was, we left a day later than planned. Neal is real good at packing, so I just let him get on with it . . . The insulated bag is for Rosie's meds; unfortunately, I completely forgot to put the cold packs in it. Four of the kids will travel in the wire crate, and Rico will be able to backseat drive from his car seat. Think something BIG is happening, Rico?? OH, LOOK. A SQUIRREL ACROSS THE STREET! Daisy's story is HERE; Rico's story is HERE
