A CAR RIDE! WE’RE GOING ON A CAR RIDE!

When I was in middle school the movie Homeward Bound came out.   I don’t remember anything about that movie except that this one big, stupid, floppy dog loved cars and whenever his owners got in a car he would start bouncing all around yelling, “A CAR RIDE!   WE’RE GOING ON A CAR RIDE!”

That’s exactly what I’m doing right this moment.

We spent all night last night packing our car for a very lonnnng car ride.   We’re heading to Virginia to my sister’s house where my entire family will converge to eat turkey, cut down Christmas trees, drink cider, and blubber Beanie’s belly.   Oh, MAN!   I am so freaking excited!

But before we can get there to join the festivities, we must drive.

Oh, the drive.

Its about a 10-hour car ride for us and since Chris is working today, we can’t leave until about 2:00 PM.   When you add in time for Beanie’s diaper changes, bottles, stretching, etc., that puts us in Virginia around 2:00 AM.

And did I mention that Bean hates the car?   As in cries the entire time he’s in one?

Yep.   Its gonna be awesome.

If you’re visiting family and friends this week by plane, train, or automobile – be safe!   I can’t have nothin’ happening to my readers out there!   Be patient as you travel and remember that it is more important to get there in one piece than it is to get there on time!

HAPPY TRAVEL DAY!
