Traveling with the whole famn damily

As you read this I'm more than likely trapped inside my Jeep traveling west ( or quite possibly north ) on my way to North Platte, NE. My wife has family there and it's been quite a while since we've visited. As a matter of fact, I think the last time we were there my daughter was roughly two years old. She's nine now. The last time we were all confined to a moving vehicle for more than a couple hours the kids were six and four.

If there are any parents reading this then you probably know how that went:

"Give it back!!"
"No!"
"That's mine"
"Dad, tell him to give it back."
"Shut up! It's not yours. You gave it to me."
"I did not!" "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!" And on and on and on and on.

Start cynical, fortywhat!!?? sarcasm

But this time, the kids are older and more mature. I'm quite sure we won't have any of that kind of stuff going on during our six and a half hour ( one way ) trip.

End cynical, fortywhat!!?? sarcasm

I'm brining a rubber mallet just in case.

I've not used the Scheduled Post option in Movable Type before, so we'll see how that works out since I scheduled this one for Saturday morning. As much as it may shock and surprise everyone I've been informed that there is, in fact, a Starbuck's in North Platte. Believe it or not! So I may very well be able to have my Venti White Chocolate Mocha and blog my little heart out.
