One mommy + one daddy + two little stinky boys + nine-and-a-half hours-in-the-car + four different states + lots of snacks + one hard-working DVD player + two Star Wars Clone Wars DVD packs + "thank God you guys are boys so we can just pull over right here" + "Eeeww Harry! Nobody will be 'using a cup until we stop'!" + a whole lot of laughter + a whole lot of singing + a whole lot of talking + a whole lot of friends + a whole lot of good times =
A whole lot of uninterrupted family time that may not now but likely will later be just one part of a whole lot of wonderful childhood memories.
Which made that crazy-long drive a whole lot of worth it.

Now playing on my mental iPod. . . . . and bringing back memories of our childhood road trips as a family. Best family road trip song ever.
How about road trips in the 70's, traveling from California to Alabama with four kids playing in the back of a station wagon? Not a seat belt in sight - didn't have 'em then. Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond, or some R & B playing on the 8 track tape. Good memories, indeed!
