While we'll only be gone three nights and four days, we're traveling with two little ones and all their gear. We also opted to stay at a villa that has a full kitchen in order to allow us to save money eating out. The drawback there would be then we also need to bring along food. And of course snacks. Many, many snacks.
The list is growing longer and I'm doing my best to imagine every possible scenario in order to have what we need. It makes me wonder how on earth I ever did NET for nine months? But then, I wasn't travelling with four children way back then.
It's sure to be an adventure, since we're heading to Duluth where it flooded earlier this week. Sounds fun, doesn't it?
Even though the mayor there has declared "Come one, Come all", I'm a bit nervous what we will find upon arrival. But then, our villa leaves us no choice since they have a strict cancellation policy and we have already paid half our dues.
We're venturing on and I know it will be full of memories. And perhaps many very interesting stories.
Since we're driving four hours to get there, I think I'll just be happy to put my feet up and enjoy the view. And yes, just enjoy the time with my family.
I'll be sure to post photos next week as long as you promise to pray a prayer for us. How do you like that for a bribe?
Have a great weekend!
Prayers coming your way! Just go with the flow. Don't plan too much than you won't be so disappointed ;) Grocery shop when you get there. It won't take long since your gone three days. Make sure you bring a bottle of wine to help you unwind while watching your views!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prayers Patty! Didn't think of the wine...better make a mental note of it :)
DeleteGood luck - hopefully your destination is south of Duluth? Enjoyed your Father's Day photos!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is south and they've recently added a mini golf course, zip line and alpine coaster up there. So, worse case, we'll at least have that close at hand to enjoy as well.
DeleteDon't forget toiletries and laundry detergent and children's tylenol - things I always forget and wish I had while on vacation :) Have fun!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun trip Sarah! We'll be praying for a fun, safe trip for you all!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeletePryers for a relaxing trip! :-)
My only advice is to use caution. I was in Duluth Friday and some roads are still hard to navigate, and a few areas are difficult to access, but most things are returning to "normal".
I am amazed at the speed at which the flood waters have disappeared. Of course it all empties into Lake Superior, so that in itself is quite a site - all muddy and murky. Not pretty!
Hoping you enjoy your stay and have a great week!
You are a brave woman! LOL. Once we had three children, I refused to travel at all until this March. Good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteBrave? Or crazy??!! ha. We'll just see if I do this again.
DeleteSarah, I didn't know you were a netter! My college roomie and brother were both netters, along with a handful of friends. Hope your vacation was splendid! We just got home today from using some friends' cabin for four days, and I was also amazed at the amount of gear required. :)
