1 large suitcase. 2 backpackpacks. 3 canvas bags. 1 laundry basket full. Several grocery bags of food. 1 Pack and Play. 2 stuffed animals. 1 Bucket of sand toys. 4 VHS movies for the road.
And a partridge in a pear tree.
Stuffed into our mini-van along with the 4 Kia winter tires to go into storage until first snow next fall.
Thus began our adventures. Into four short days we fit boat rides, lots of playing in the sand, a trip to Story Land amusement park, and endless hugs from Grampy Allen and Granny Annie.
The stress, the bug bites, the broken routines...all worth it to create these memories. Koda is finally to an age that he will begin to remember these moments. And I'm confident he won't remember us playing tetris to jam everything into the van, but he will remember being a big boy who road the rollar coaster, or drove the boat with this grandfather. Those moments, those memories. That is why we vacation :)
