Preparations

We used to just toss a backpack in the car and jaunt off to the mountains. We didn't bat an eye at driving between L.A. and Denver. Then I married Ben. Now there are six family members, and trips take a little more forethought.

The laundry's almost done washing. Half was folded and put away over the last couple days, we're down to the final four loads. Clothes are chosen for tomorrow for four of the six of us. The children can wear aprons in the car to keep theirs nice.

The pie is in the oven.

I plan to have the car packed up tonight because he wants to be driving at 5AM.
