So the time has come to get everything ready for vacation. I am going to start packing this week. If you know me, ever since Harrison was born I have a tendency to over think things. Needless to say I have lists on top of lists that I think I need to take. We are making the Wal-Mart run tonight to get stuff and I know that I am going to forget something. I know I am probably going overboard but I want to make Harrison's first vacation perfect. I know he is not going to know everything that is going on but through pictures I hope that he will remember how special it was. I know that this year will be special for me because it was 30 years ago this August that I went to the mountains for the first time.
I have tried to think of neat ideas for a memory album but not as complicated as a scrapbook. I do not know how to scrapbook. I have decided to take pictures of places that we go (ie restaurants, family union, cades cove, and Cherokee, n.c.) and ask them to write a comment on a card I have created to help Harrison remember. I also am using an idea I found on Pinterest of stitching a map to show where we traveled to and put it in a shadow box to hang in his room.
I cannot wait until next Friday when we load up and start down the road. I love going to the mountains and I am excited about giving Harrison a change of scenery. I will post pictures when we get back of what we did and also little happies Harrison got along the way. Pictures of the memory map will be up once I get it completed.
