This Thursday at 3 p.m, five of us will pile into Grampa Jim's mini-van and start what we hope will be not much more than a 24-hour drive to Florida. Kirsten and Grampa Jim will switch off driving and sleeping, I will navigate/inspire/encourage, and Sam and Caleb will behave fantastically well.
We hope to arrive in Melbourne, FL at about 5pm on Friday, where we'lll spend the night with Great Aunt Anne and Uncle Steve.
Saturday, we leave Grampa Jim to the golf courses and cross to Naples on the Gulf Side for several days with Granny & Poppa, including a visit from the Unitarian Easter Bunny.
(On a Unitarian Easter Egg Hunt, some -- but not all -- of the eggs may be left empty. It's the hunt that's important, anyway. So maybe you'll find some jelly beans, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll find jelly beans and then leave them behind. The main thing is not to judge, because we can all at least concede that there is meaning to be found in chocolate if one wants to find it. After the hunt, a proposal is made to find volunteers for a committee to consider options for a possible brunch.)

Good luck!
Anna and I both rolled on the floor watching that movie. Did you know that we also had to push one of our VWs to get it to start? And we once spent the night of 12/23 in a VW dealership parking lot in Florida.
May your trip be fun and uneventful, except for the search for meaning in chocolate bunnies.
Brian I read this at work this morning & was laughing so hard tears came to my eyes. When you are old, memory can be selective, or it confirms the fact that I tend to be a glass half full type. Cathy
