outta here...
As of Friday morning. Headed north. Loon country. Still trying to figure out the best way to drug Kev before we leave. He hates long trips in the car. (12 hours, this one) He hates John grabbing his chest from the seat behind him. (And John has claimed the right side passenger seat from our first vacation together five summers ago. Kevin doesn't drive since he also hates staying awake, which if you do the math places him in prone position for John to mutilate his body parts. Over and over. And over. ) He hates pets. (John and Sha have a cat.) He hates traveling with pets. (John and Sha are bringing their cat.) He hates leaving our house behind in case a tornado sucks the water from the pool and drops it on the house. (I have nothing here.)
So we pack. And we brace ourselves. It will have moments of paradise whether he'll ever admit it or not. And I'm again looking forward to spending some time with John and Sha and breathing the air that can only be inhaled from that lake in the middle of nowhere. If the cat doesn't howl all the way and the weather channel doesn't proclaim some fluke funnel cloud jumped the river and landed on Silverthorne he'll live. But seriously, if you have any unique, undetectable calming "treats" I can pack for the guy, we'd all appreciate it :)
See you on the other side...

have a good one! travel safe and tell John to keep his hands to himself:) well, at least try...i know he won't listen. he'll just giggle about it the whole way to torment kev. And you might want to take some Beano with you for that kid - it may help with the quality of air in the van. :) have fun!
We will. Shawna and John are pretty excited about getting away. Me too. Sounds like we're supposed to have great weather. And I found out I can give the cat Dramamine so...it's looking up. I'll pick up some rum tonight and mix Kevin some special Kool-Aid :) Yes.I.Will.
