Dear Elizabeth and Ben (my kids),

Thank you for being soooo well behaved in the car today while we drove over 600 miles in 11 hours, for not crying, for playing nicely and not fighting with each other - all without a DVD player. Thank you for being so well behaved in the restaurant and the ice cream shoppe. Thank you Ben for letting out that ear piercing shriek in Red Lobster when you saw the lobsters in the tank. I'm sure that the other patrons in the restaurant appreciated that. Please be good for the remaining 7 hours of driving we have tomorrow to get to MD.

Love,
Mom
