In her own words ....
"Well I don't remember much ...." she says, however she just went off about several details of the funny things that happen when families travel. She says they are "irritating" ... but she says that with a smirk. They might be irritating then, but funny later, I explain. Here is a list:
1) Eric likes to sing in the car. It drives the rest of them crazy. We have a continual battle -- on one hand, I explain that we need to be giving and loving to others, considering their desires before our own. In other words: If Eric wants to sing, let him sing and put down your own interest for him. On the other hand, Eric also needs to learn to be considerate of others and not sing intentionally to irritate them. BOTH sides needs to not think of themselves. There is the lesson for the day.
2) When we stopped at Sonic for lunch ... guess who showed up in the parking lot right behind us? Uncle Mark & Aunt Amy, Memaw & Bodie! They had lunch at IHOP though.
3) We were texting Aunt Di on the way down as well -- sharing news about our overpacked vans.
4) Once we got to Corolla -- we found the realty building and Eric kept questioning why Daddy was going in there. "Jinx!" Jessica & Susannah said -- they both had proclaimed "He's going to get the key for the (beach) house!" at the same time.
