Everyone travels differently. We are not in a huge hurry. You will not find our family racing to beat our best time, eating while we drive, or forgoing the occasional "on the road" Starbucks or gas station treat. We are of the belief that traveling should be an experience . . . not just a race to get from one place to the next destination. The journey is part of the adventure or vacation and a perfect time for making memories. We intentionally plan special treats, activities, meals, music, etc.; and, we have as much fun as as we possibly can while traveling in a minivan teeming with suitcases, lovies, strollers, and four children under the age of seven.
This year, I chronicled our Florida vacation on Instagram. And, I began at the beginning . . .with travel preparations. Packing for six, running errands, planning car activities, and gathering up princess movies to get psyched up for Disney World were all on my "To Do" list.
We began our annual summer voyage to Grammy's house (in Florida) on June 4th . . . just three short days after our school year ended. We left bright and early and had a great deal of fun-- despite the torrential rain that greeted us in South Carolina and proved a loyal traveling companion through Georgia and north Florida.
Mommy was primed and ready to photographically document our journey.

There was some major singing!
And, a great deal of sleeping!
