--stopping for dinner in southern Tennessee at homestyle restaurant with a bbq sauce on the table named 'blazin' rectums hot hot hot bbq sauce'
--see two beluga whales mate right in front of gigantic huge window of their tank with like 200 people watching in horror/amazement and with the aquarium personnel trying desperately to explain what was going on to like dozens of little kids and having mom covering up their eyes
--getting stuck in saturday traffic in downtown atlanta when they closed EVERY single exit downtown for paving with no signs of warning and when nile complained about how he could walk faster i almost just let him out on I-75
--running a super hilly incredibly hot 5K on saturday morning where bill got 2nd in his age group and gabby won her age group and i was only 3 seconds off my best 5K ever
--having dinner and a long long catch up talk with my maid of honor who i have been friends with since i was 5
--gabby saying this morning 'i'm not riding in the f'ing car with him (meaning her brother) today. just letting you know' (it was a long long morning, see below)
--bill sitting the kids down in front of each other this morning and setting a time limit for apologizes and to figure out how to deal with each other. they were 1.5 minutes away from turning around and going back to iowa one week early. i don't think bill was bluffing either.
--being with my folks as they met us at the beach today
-- dipping my toes in the atlantic and feeling that sense of accomplishment that we all arrived in one piece after 16+ hours on the road and two days in HotLanta
ooo family vacations... making memories to last a lifetime

Thank you for the abundant giggles, Katie. I needed them. Vacations are great story telling fodder. I especially liked the bbq sauce! My mom says something similar when eating spicey foods that come out not so nice...red hot butthole. Kind of crude, but kind of Trudi (my mom's name).
