Vacations.

I just read an article about how to maximize your vacations. Apparently the length of the vacation matters less than the intensity and new experiences you have while on vacation. It also stated that pleasure in the vacation are generally highest before you go, lowest while gone, and high (but not as high) after the vacation (anticipation - actuality - memory).

Above all, the article says, the people you spend the time with can make or break your trip.

Anyway. We just got back from a 10 day roadtrip to Nauvoo for a family reunion. The reunion was great and we had lots of new experiences. We loved playing with family and making new memories with them. They were definitely the right people to spend time with. The 6 days of driving was...6 days of driving.letting her out of the car

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

that child is absolutely gorgeous. Good work, you two.

She is so cute. I didn't realize 3/5 of your vacation was spent in the car. That is. . . a lot.

I'm glad no one was killed in the making of this vacation.
Also, Anna looks like the little Matilda in the movie. The one where she's supposed to be 2 or 3.
