Happy Mother's Day

Today for Mother's Day I decided we would go for a ride. The whole famn damily! I wanted to go see Iceland's south coast. It is beautiful!! But here are a few things I learned.

• Just because the road is on the map marked with a highway sign doesn't mean it's more that one lane, paved, or smooth.
• Don't pass out bottles of Coke while riding down an Icelandic "highway".
• Don't stop on an Icelandic "highway" when a child opens said Coke and it starts exploding (that's how bumpy the road is) unless you have 4 wheel drive to get you the rest of the way up the hill!
• Don't take 13 year old boys on these roads after they have eaten 6 sausage links, 5 pieces of bacon and 2 pieced of french toast!
• Next time anyone who wants stay home will be allowed. Oh, they weren't fighting; in fact, they were getting along all to well. When this happens the volume in the car multiplies about 200 fold.

The joy is in the journey and we are making plenty of memories.
