You get the idea. The kind of vacation that you finish more tired than when you began, but would do it all over again. Especially the DVD in the rental minivan - GENIUS ! Best drive from Phoenix to Tucson and back again EVER. Though if I see that Little Einstein's video one more time.....
...Oh. And Lily Jake and I got cowboy boots. INSERT BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN WITTICISM
