Getting ready for our trip

on thursday, we leave for our big summer trip. Phil has a conference in Philadephia and another in New York, so we'll spend a week in each city. i'll be trekking around both cities sans Phil...we'll see how it goes! we'll be visiting family in Philadelphia, so that'll be great. we get to see my nephew, Amoz, for the first time! he's celebrating his first birthday while we're there, so that'll be exciting. i think this will be the first time in a really long time my side of the family has gathered. my brother and his family and my parents and us. i think the last time was when Skye was born.

so i'm busy packing whenever i can. Phil and i used to travel a lot (during my flight attendant days) and we'd travel with just one suitcase each. that's impossible now. these two small people require so much STUFF! and i used to zip through airports, pulling my wheelie along. now, we have to plan for at least a half hour to make our connection, making potty stops, water stops, etc. still, i'm excited to show the cities to Skye and Claire. i love NYC - there's so much to do! i'm hoping the kids will find it as exciting as i do.

if any of you have tips on what to do and see with the kids in either city, please let me know!

Looking forward to the time with you guys. Look forward to seeing your blue hair :-), meeting Claire for the first time, seeing how big Skye got, and addressing Phil as Doctor Phil.
