Vacation Plans
I guess I haven't talked much about our upcoming vacation, so here's the scoop; It has been a tradition since I was a child that we would all get together and have Christmas dinner, cousins, aunts & uncles, friends, neighbors, since I have a large family its usually a gathering of around 40 people. In the past few years some of us have moved away and its been next to impossible for me to get back home. I have a weeks paid vacation saved up, its a big trip, three states away and a fourteen hour drive but its set we are going to Florida for Christmas.
Florida Vacation Plans:
Dec 21th - Arrive at Mom's winter home in the evening (Port Charlotte, FL)
Dec 22th - Spend the day with 5 of my cousins and 3 dogs at the beach (Venice, FL)
Dec 23th - Visit with Jon's Father (Tampa, FL)
Dec 24th - Help the family prep food for Christmas, build gingerbread houses and such (Englewood, FL)
Dec 25th - Christmas at Grandmoms house (Englewood, FL)
Dec 26th - Spend an afternoon at the lighthouse in the sand, eat seafood and relax (Boca Grande, FL)
Dec 27th - Go to my hometown, eat more seafood, and visit with Scuba-Steve, Tracey & Leo (Marco Island, FL)
Dec 28th - Early morning drive back to Kentucky.
I know the agenda is tight and there are a lot of things I want to accomplish. In order to complete my list we have to drive all up and down the gulf coast of Florida. I know it will all be worth it though and we are truly lucky to have so many friends and family who want to see us while we are in town, In fact I've had to turn down a few invitations. I'm really excited to get back home, see my family and friends, eat fresh seafood, and enjoy the sun.

lots of silly stories to tell when we come home, bringing Luna along always makes for an interesting trip.
I’m going to have to detach myself from my blog though, my mom has no internet access at her house (its her vacation home and is vacant eight months out of the year) so I’m sure I’ll be going through withdrawals of some sort.
