Jimg- that is hilarious about Alabama. I could so see that happening. Our secret was actually inspired by a friend who is doing a similar stunt with her kids and going to Disney instead of their grandparents. (Poor grandma and grandpa, always getting the shaft! :lol: )

In the car I could see them being totally clueless. Who knows the US map anymore and what kid would figure out you are going the wrong direction!


I am really excited now, only 24 hours! Of course my oldest was a total witch before school today. I felt like just screaming out to her "don't you know what I am doing for you!!!!"

Of course at that age they are not supposed to appreciate anything. And they usually don't.

But this will be a big surprise.

Mahojim- I still look for jumbies bouncing in the trees on the North Shore road!

Hi djmom,
That is so very AWESOME! I cannot imagine how you are able to keep this surprise from them!

Glad to hear I am not the only mom that feels this way at times! You wrote: Of course my oldest was a total witch before school today. I felt like just screaming out to her "don't you know what I am doing for you!!!!"

Have a Happy Thanksgiving on STJ :D

Great surprise! Our son 13 and Dau 10 have been going with us for 7 years now and I don't think we could pull this off without them knowing.

My Daughter alwys has a count down for the next trip when we get back from the last one.

'Mornin' !
Get ready for lift-off!
I'm so excited for you & your family!!!
It should be fun witnessing your children be so excited to become so relaxed.-(maybe that's just me... :roll: )
Not sure where you're staying, but do yourselves a grand justice, and get some bbq from Uncle Joe's (on the opposite corner from Cap's Place) for some wonderful take-out.
Hope you have a great trip, just don't forget your
Smiles

And here's to hoping this AM's "FAA glitch" didn't cancel your flight...
