Two vehicles set off from Mechanicsburg as soon as school was out on Wednesday. Two student teachers and two college students had to wait until they could all gather in a central location after a day of school on Thursday. They took the early bird special, leaving long before the sun was up on Friday.
We all made it.
Of course there's more to the story than that. Much more. And we also remember one who could not join us. Sometimes the past is too difficult to face, making the present unbearable. And so, we pray for the one.
But I think this car load had way too much fun.
This car...well...let's just say that the ride down in two days was better than the ride home in one. Riding down, the toys were new. Buster and Ash from Sing turned out to be the best $14 we've ever spent. The 12 stories I'd recorded were fun and exciting, with headphones on and water bottle ready to be devoured. And spilled.
The trip back included traffic from multiple crashes and a kid crashing in the backseat. What should have taken 10 1/2 hours, took 13. No one wanted to talk when we got back.
But a good night's sleep cures everything and the memories of a beautiful (but hot) weekend, celebrating two very special people...priceless.
