Vacation

I’m currently on vacation visiting my folks for the Easter weekend. So, if my posting is a little light, that’s why. I didn’t even make it to a computer yesterday — road weary after 12 hours of traveling with small children. My plan had been to drive through the night, but my 2 year old woke up and then started crying for a couple of hours, leading in turn to tears from my 8 month old, then my wife. In short, I had a mutiny on my hands. At first, my inclination was to go all Captain Bly with the situation. But, eventually, I relented and we got a hotel room at 4 a.m. This was the first time my 2 year old had slept in a bed. So, he was wired from the road and he kept leaning over on top of me saying stuff like “that’s a mirror Dad. A mirror Dad. A mirror. Look a mirror” until I acknowledged his observation. It didn’t help that I kept busting out laughing at the situation which made him laugh and encouraged him. But eventually we got some sleep and then made it the final two hours to our destination. But, I digress.
