I am so excited to travel to the States this summer! I am counting down the weeks and am almost to the point that I can tell you how many days until we leave. There are many, many things, people, and events that we have missed over the last 3 years of living outside of the USA and I can not wait to experience some things and share them with my girls, such as:

That's a lot of good things to be excited about! I have to agree about the Publix subs. They are amazing and a treat when we visit the south!
You have a lot to look forward to! It sounds like y'all have a lot of fun things planned (Disney - fun!) and now I am really craving Panera, ha!
Haha, I love this post. When and for how long will you be in the states? You can tell that we are both from the south (Jacksonville, FL for me) because our lists would be almost identical if I made one. I might be more specific and say Sonny's BBQ, but BBQ in general too! Yummy!
love this! and I'm so happy that you'll be able to enjoy so many of these things! But most of all just spending some quality relaxing time with your families.
Yay!! It's going to be like Christmas for you!! I remember how excited I was and it had only been 6 months. I can't even begin to imagine 3 years!! Now that I know you love Mimi's Cafe I'll have to try it. We have one really close by but I've never heard of it so we haven't been yet!
Oh I have to admit that I really miss having someone else fill up my gas tank! :) But that, and you guys, are about the ONLY things I miss!! ;)
