Packing Lite

I am so excited for my trip to San Francisco tomorrow! My sister graduated from college on Saturday so we are celebrating with a trip!! My birthday is tomorrow and what better way to ring in my 31st in a special way.

There are times I dread packing (mainly for trips that require warm clothing). I would much rather pack bathing suits and shorts than scarves, coats and boots. Nonetheless I have left my packing to the night before which leaves room for many items left behind. Thank goodness Southwest has free checked baggage! What are some must haves? On the top of my list is my coats, umbrella, and comfortable shoes (would rather take some cute heels). I never pack light so I will do a process of elimination, exactly what it entails I am not sure but I have to be done by tonight. My goal is done and ready by 9pm.

Any tips or must see while in San Fran?

The countdown is almost over!

I cannot begin to say how excited I am to go on our upcoming vacation. It is a much needed tropical trip, considering we are enduring freezing temperatures overnight. I told Matt the other day "I wish we could just close our eyes and then we would be there instantly!" the thought of waking up at 2am and driving into LA, dropping off our vehicle at park & fly, checking in, going through security.... makes me want to say BLAH! All of this while traveling with a 10 month old, can you please say a prayer for us?! Our little guy is a real trooper and I know that he will do well through it all. We were hoping for a direct flight but it is out of the question. The bags are slowly being packed and hoping I remember every little thing imaginable!
