And We're Off!

We're packed. The house is no where close to how I wanted to leave it, and we still have an awful lot of baby proofing to do. We'll manage.

At one point tonight, I was very panicky. It just seemed like the piles of stuff to add to the suitcases was growing exponentially. We finally got everything shoved in and brought out the dreaded scale. We used a mailing scale that Jim has for his business. Our checked bags came in at 44.3 and 44.6 pounds each. Our carry-ons are right around 25 pounds, and my backpack is 13 pounds. We're .9 pounds over in our checked bags, 1 pound over with my backpack (I think I heard 12??), and 15 pounds under with our carry on. I think we did pretty well.

We'll get pictures and post as soon as we can.
