Eight-plus hours in a car. The only adult.
Accompanied by a 4-year-old boy and a 2-year-old dog, eight pouches of The Incredibles fruit snacks, portable DVD player with at least 20 hours worth of animated movies and 22-oz of my favorite organic coffee.
Feel for me. Pray for me. Take pity on me.
The one saving grace is knowing that, at the end of the journey, I can usher my kid (and the dog, for that matter) into the capable, loving arms of the grandparents, eat homecooked food that I didn't have to prepare, and crawl into bed early with a new trashy romance.
Taking a vacation to Kansas isn't exactly the ideal destination for everyone.
But it sounds like heaven to me.
(Minus those eight-plus hours in the car.)

We're heading to MPLS with a 6yo & 7mo this weekend.
I bet KS is warmer.
:(
I wanted to.
