To the Land of Magic we go

Well, we depart in T-Minus two hours for our magic-fill Christmas vacation and I could not be more excited. But, I must admit, I am most excited for what "magic" this 18-hour road trip will bring. Who knows, maybe we shall come out of it a stronger, more loving family? Maybe I'll finally get along with Diana now that we're given all this time to settle our differences? Or maybe we'll all discover how incredibly small our bladders are?

I am well aware that when confined in a small space for 18 hours amongst family, it could be life changing. Some serious family bonding is about to occur. This trip could also be the first time someone is thrown out of our van, if need be. We are all going to be sleep deprived and will maintain a very low tolerance for annoying individuals. I mean, we will only be living the good life in Disneyland for approximately ten days. An individual, or one of my siblings, could definitely survive if dropped off at a rest stop with a working water fountain for that long. If we're feeling merciful, we'd leave them with some spare change to purchase goodies from a nearby vending machine too. My money is on "darling" Kevin Jr. to get booted off the island first. He's not tall enough to go on a lot of the rides anyways :p

I volunteered to drive for part of the drive but after my lil episode today, I am sure my parents are seating me as far away as possible from the steering wheel. Yes, I backed up into one of our cars with the van today. Beyond embarrassing. Fortunately, it only left a little dent, hardly noticeable. Adds character I say. It also adds to the large number of times I've hit something.
My uncle who married the Chinese mail order bride is here as well with his Asian baby to house sit. So, I've learned all about the importance of chickens, chicken coops, and how chicken poop makes the best fertilizer. Exciting stuff.

Maybe I'll find my true love amongst the lines of Disneyland and we'll just happen to sit by each other on the ride and just happen to hold hands out of sheer fright of course ;)
One can dream right and I am now heading to the land where dreams really do come true.
