The kids are packed. Their Daddy said to pack 20 sets of clothes. Huh???? So they did. I'm thinking that the VW will be packed.
A little history. After our trip to Norway last year I decided that the "green and responsible" action to take upon returning home would be to sell our two gas guzzling cars and buy a VW, much like the cars we rented while in Scandinavia. So, we got home and traded in our Honda Pilot (seats 8) and Jeep (seats 5) for a diesel, Jetta Wagon, 6 speed manual. COOL! I felt so environmentally superior to so many! Apparently I had suppressed the memory of Sam and Jacob vomiting in the scenic Norwegian mountain, due to motion sickness and crowding.
Fast Forward. Even with the little plastic pod that sits atop the car, the back fills up quickly. So, with each child carrying 20 sets of clothing, me taking clothes for 4 1/2 weeks (another story) and Charles carrying all the normal clothing options and matching sunglasses, I imagine it will be packed. Add 5 mountain packs, 2 tents, 5 sleeping bags, food for 5 for 5 days, and winter coats....well...you see our dilemma. I have purchased Dramamine.
Tomorrow we leave for Memphis. Not a long trip - only 4 hours. I think we'll do fine. But I will pass out the Dramamine early.
