We're heading down to New Orleans for a weekend get-away. "We" being, the husband, the kids, and the in-laws. I'm trying to get everything all packed-up this evening. The plan is have everything ready to go so we can hit the road early in the morning.

Sounds simple, but with a cranky nine-year-old and a demanding three-year-old in the mix, nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems.
