Hey Holly! Woo hoo!!
I know when we were souvenier shopping the morning we were to go get the kids, all I could think about was, "I can't believe I'm shopping. I want my boy!!" We later found out that that children were getting their medicals done for the Embassy, so they weren't at the TH anyway. Probably the same story for ya'll, so sit back, relax and shop away. :)
Oh my gosh, I started to cry reading your Itinerary! I am SOOO happy for your family.
