Priceless Memories

Organizing and packing a large family for two days out of town…Tiring.

Remembering every last detail down to the diapers and the granola bars…Difficult.

Cleaning out the suburban to get ready for the trip…Nasty.

Fueling up a vehicle that will carry seven passengers…Expensive.

Traveling with a grumpy one and three year old…Frustrating.

Spending $82 to sleep on a concrete mattress with a confused toddler…Irritating.

(sigh)…

Watching my amazing, beautiful, athletic, princess of a daughter (and her team) compete in a two-day volleyball tournament…PRICELESS.
