We have 10 days left and we had our last official Washington meeting last night, filled out medical forms and behavioral forms (ok so the parents didn’t have to fill them out but the kids did) and we got our ITINERARY! Kaela and I went home VERY excited and we want to share with you what we will be seeing:

It honestly doesn’t seem like there are enough hours in the day to see all of those wonderful places but they do it every year. We eat and sleep sometime during this trip too! I can't wait to share all of our pictures. I am actually afraid we are going to run out of memory space and that is because we are taking 2 cameras!
Chore update: Kaela has less the 25 chores to do before she gets her iPod. She is gonna have to hussle this weekend! I want to be able to download songs next week!
