2014 Summer adventure begins

> Getting three kids packed up for a summer vacation is a bit like herding feral cats. Marlee kept getting herself buried in a book (she's re-reading the Harry Potter series) instead of getting ready and Emma and Cailin were fighting most of the morning. Wonder if they'd notice if I just snuck off without them???

> Finally had everyone packed into the car with 15 minutes to spare--just sat in the air conditioned comfort of the minivan until we needed to head out. I turned the house A/c off yesterday so a cool place to sit was a welcome respite.

> I did not check their bags this time so it could be an adventure when we learn what was left behind.
