We recently took a trip to visit The Prince's daughter and her family. There is a lot of planning when we embark on this journey. Hotel reservations, arrange boarding for the dogs, stop the paper, pack the car , wrap some gifts for the kiddies...... you get the idea.
Finally, we hit the road! We are mentally prepared for a 4 hour road trip. We have an array of things to listen to (but we usually talk most of the time) . - I pack a variety of snacks: salty, sweet, crunchy, chewy - NOTHING HEALTHY. We expect traffic at the usual locations and finally, we are out of New York!
It was a delightful ride - the Delaware Water Gap was an array of color. The music was especially entertaining - we sang our hearts out! THEN, out of nowhere, we are forced to merge lanes and travel single file "at the speed of a snail.....going uphill...on an icy surface". We did 2 speeds - SLOW and STOP. What should have taken 30 minutes, took over 2 hours. There is no amount of snacks that could placate a saint in those conditions! Eventually, we made it to our hotel. We both fell soundly asleep knowing that the next day was going to bring a flurry of activities with the grandkids.
We had an early breakfast and headed over to start our day. When 2 kids scream with delight and run into our arms, we both know that no amount of traffic will ever stop us from making this trip in the future. It was a happy, busy weekend - we made wonderful memories.
You know everyone had a good time when it is so hard to say good-bye.... "...'til next time, little cherubs...."

a sweet moment
Saw a TV show last night where the character was lamenting over the death of his wife. He was wondering if he would ever be in love again. His friend told him that he will most definitely find love again and his tombstone will read, "was fortunate enough to be loved by 2 wonderful women in his lifetime".
I reached for The Prince's hand - he squeezed it and said, with a tear in his eye..... "Yes...and you will have been loved by two wonderful men..."
