Family Road Trip

First there was the ride:

Note the back-seat air freshener.  Kids stink.
Then we arrived:

I shoulda bought some extra air fresheners.
Finally, I noticed something:

Where I spent most of my vacation.

    Hey! That car photo looks familiar...I can almost hear Boston playing! I would so wash the meatloaf and burn the laundry in that kitchen scenario! (as wel as get every piece of clean laundry dirty)

      Ha! I think a few more are going to look familiar as well! You are like my preview audience!

    Loved the part one and waiting for the part two. Actually cheaper would have been to stay with us, but it might have been the time we were gone also. Oh wait! That would have been great for you all. Do you dog sit too? That could have saved a kennel cost for us and everyone would have been ahead. Do you clean too? I know you do laundry.

    Hugs,
    Carol

      Sorry, I don't do animals. Or kids. Or any activity without wine. Laundry is about it. (:

    Wow...and the place even threw in a can opener!! Looks 5 star to me. At least you didn't have to wear your socks to walk on the carpet like we did when we stayed in a place in N.C. I knew that place was special when I saw a guest walk their dog in the hallway where it ....did it's thing and yes the bar had chicken wire in front of the stage. That was a fun trip let me tell you. Moral of that story is 1)don't ever assume the hotel for a wedding is ok and never, never, write the check til you get to the reception and see the menu or if it's a cash bar.
