Planning a trip

Okay, Scott and I have been married for almost twelve years and have only been on one "vacation". No it wasn't our honeymoon, we didn't have one! I had to start a new job two days later! Anyway, we went to Nashville with Jarika and my mother in law for a long weekend. Anyway we are taking a family vacation! I am so excited and overwhelmed by this endeavor! My brother and his family and all of my family are going to Florida for a week! Scott and Kent (my brother) are making the travel plans. Scott is planning the trip around restaurants he has heard about from one of his favorite Food Network shows "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives". and the shortest route from Missouri to Florida. He's too funny! I hear about the route we're taking and all I can think about is "Oh Rita is is Birmingham! I can meet her and those darling girls! or Wait! Meredith is bringing Emma to the doc in Orlando on the 30th I want to hook up with her and see her angels!" Do you think we're on the same page? I am so drawn to my Reece's Rainbow family and I really want to be one of those fortunate families that is smiling so brightly on the Homecomings page. I want to see first hand how adoption has blessed these precious little angels that were once orphans. Charissa, I AM coming to meet you this summer sometime! Ava and Addy have to meet! I must admit I really want to spend time with Hope, she cracks me up! Well, I just was in the mood to post but I don't have my camera next to me to post new pix of my kids, but I will tomorrow. I think I am also going to make that humongous list that I must have to make sure that I have everyone's things to start packing! Packing for six should be fun! All of you that have these large broods, send me your tips!
