Leaving... On a Road Trip

We leave Friday morning for the Road Trip. 

We've been planning for what feels like weeks, and have been over our extensive spreadsheet multiple times.  We've done a few orders from Amazon (I'm a big fan of Amazon Prime!), purchasing a DVD case that can be rigged to hang between the two front seats, a few new Disney movies, new cartridges for the kids' "computers"...

We have the suitcases spread out in our room, half-filled with clothes, water shoes, books, a case of DVDs, ziploc bags, swimsuits...

We have a "countdown chain" on the fireplace, looking a little pathetic now as it dangles its last 2 links...

We have a short list of things left to buy, or possibly left to buy.  An anniversary card.  Rolls of quarters to use as good behavior bribes.  Lap desks for the kids to use in the car? New coloring books?  What else will keep us sane during those long hours?

What else have we forgotten?  Did I add my pillow to the list of things to bring?  Will I even get a chance to sleep?  We need to remember to buy ice for the cooler on our way out of town.  Do we have enough sunscreen?  We can buy more there if we need to.  What about flip-flops?  Will his hold up?  Did we check to make sure the DVD charger will fit?  I need to remember to make the granola bars tomorrow.  Did we wash the containers for those?  I don't think we added the fruit twists to the snack list...

My brain won't shut off.

Two more days.
