Getting ready for a trip

The kids and I are getting ready for our annual Florida-pilgrimage...this year will be a grand New York-in-Florida reunion -- we will get to see not only my parents and brothers, but also my snowbird-grandparents and my Uncle Chuck, Aunt Connie, Amanda, and Alicia (my mom's sister and family), who will be down for winter break! Needless to say, I don't have much time to post today, and tomorrow I will be on the road, so my next post will be from my brothers' place in Florida...
