Excellent point Nolan. Peter does have a board or two missing from his retaining wall.

Eight traveling together equals 192 people hours in a day. Makes my head spin.

On the plus side your MPG is mutiplied by 8 for PMPG (passenger miles per gallon).

I hope this experience don't deter you or any of your family from making the trip again. Just wouldn't be the same without you guys there. And as far as your kids go. I think they did good not to kill one another after being confined for that amount of time. Sounds like good raising to me.

Even with the wifee-poo, Nolan has a point buddy!

But dang, those last two days must have been really FUN!

I know having Nick's parents there helped a lot, fer sure!

Actually Peter has his kids TRAINED. He asked one of them "Do I ever need to ask you something twice?" quick response "NOPE!" and it was done. I was impressed.

I'm waiting for the day when one of them responds to that question (with a feigned innocent look no less!) with a, "say again, dad?"
