I think we should get 2 or 3 more rides in before we go back home. It has been so long since we've had a trip that hasn't involved a family health crisis or a funeral. It seems like paradise!
Lovely. I know the family health/funeral times very well--good for you guys for going for this ride! A little normal joy.
