WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

Once when my family was driving from San Diego to Vancouver, we were staying the night in Eugene, Oregon, when my sister woke up at 2 in the morning with a fever of 106. We took her to the hospital where she stayed for a week (and we racked up quite a hotel bill) because as it turns out she had an inflamed fallopian tube (what the hell?!?) and needed it removed. Not a great vacation, but definitely a memorable one.

I’m so glad you guys are recovering. Feel better!

I’m sorry your trip wasn’t the vacation you and Heather needed. You know, reading this entry reminded me of the all crazy family trips of my childhood. My parents did the camping method and we would visit countless National Parks out west. Except, my parents gave up on that idea at some point and such ambitious trips simply ended. I never considered the stress my parents must have felt on these vacations. Today my parents go on cruises- perhaps this is their alternative? Anyway, your entry made me consider this. What a great post.

I FINALLY finished reading this trip report, and I just have to say I AM SO SORRY you had such a shitty time. Ugh. *HUGS* to every one of you, even the dogs. And I’m not that fond of dogs. Hah.

I am a California native living in New England, and I always try to think up ways I can move my family back (Bay Area though, not Southern) and the realization that there is NO WAY always hits me in the ass. *sigh*
I hope the universe gives you at least 100 awesome trips in reward for this one.

Take care!

Um, that would be Griswold. I am still asleep.

Geez louise. That’s worse than the Gridwold family vacation.

Glad you’re all safe and sound.

Look at it this way…. I think you’ve used up all your bad trip chips so you’re now free an clear to travel with little complication from here on out.

It’s a theory…

Ah! So glad you posted about the trip - I could feel Heather’s aversion to writing about it and now I completely understand why. Bless your hearts.

On another note, I truly read Heather’s post about Leta’s birthday thinking,”Is that Leta’s uncle? Does Jon have an attractive younger brother?” I have always been such a fan of the beard but I have to say it: Jon, you look fantastic. I was floored by her pic of you. Shave away those SD memories, friend!

Hang onto those thoughts of sunshine and the beach(es). We all need them to get through the winter. Your intentions were good…your next vacation will be GREAT.
