Beach Getaway

We're headed off to the beach today for an impromptu trip with Grandmama & Poppy. We'll be beaching it on the Atlantic side of Florida, so hopefully Gustav won't interrupt our fun- in -the- sun plans. I've been on weather.com like crazy the past few days to see if it's worth the 8 hour drive. Rain or shine, we're determined to have a good time.
Fortunately, our neighbors loaned us their portable DVD player for Miller's viewing pleasure. Hopefully, animated vegetables in Veggie Tale movies will tickle his fancy and quiet his spirit ;) Curious George is also a scheduled movie showing. This form of entertainment should make the travel time a little more bearable for Miller& family this go around. Other things in my bag of tricks include cardboard books, cars , "Mickie Mouse Fun House" music for family sing-a-longs, crackers, peek-a-boo & tickling toe games. An animated momma & daddy should work in our favor too!! Miller's still too young to play my family's traditional car game of "I Spy". Until then, we'll occupy our busy boy in other ways!
Praying for safety and a relaxing time with family. Hurricane Fay & Gustav don't mess with this momma ( pretty please? with sugar on top? extra cherries?)
