We're watching the weather but I know that rain or shine we will have a great time being together!! We are wearing coordinating outfits every day and we just going to be fun and crazy and do our best not to be beaten by crowds and heat. The little one will keep us sane by forcing to head back to BC for naps each day!!! Let me know what you think of the plans - this is our first trip with kids and we don't plan to come back for several years. And thanks to everyone who posts on these boards for all of the great tips and advice - I could never have planned this trip without this website!!

Looks great. And its hard sometimes to stop during the day for naps but it helps the little ones so much.
