The Great Expectations
This trip is going to be epic. According to Merriam Webster, epic means: very great or large and usually difficult or impressive. I don't understand the "or". Because this trip is definitely going to be "and". Here are my great expectations:
1. We have plans in place for each day, guaranteeing maximum enjoyment.
2. Plans may change. We will still enjoy the trip.
3. With multiple checklists, everything has it's spot in the camper and it will all be there when we leave.
4. We will forget something. Check that. Lots of somethings. We will buy those things on the road.
5. We will all be content on our long car rides with games, puzzles, art supplies, worksheets, movies, the scenery, books, and more.
6. We will loose our minds during long stretches of highway. We will get through it and on to the next.
7. We will see, hear, smell, touch, taste and experience great and amazing things together.
8. We will not all agree on what we want to experience all of the time. We will compromise.
9. We will happily laugh ourselves silly.
10. We will be angry/frustrated and may cry ourselves to sleep. We will get over it.
11. The car and trailer have been thoroughly checked over and in shape to make the journey.
12. Something will break down. We will fix it.
13. We have a food plan which will keep us nourished throughout the trip.
14. We will become hangry. Several times. We'll eat something and feel better.
15. We will be rested and relaxed.
16. We will be tired. We'll sleep.
17. We will be safe and careful.
18. Somebody will end up hurt. Hopefully not badly. We'll fix him up and keep going.
19. We will be kind and loving.
20. We will be mean and grumpy. We will apologize and hug.
21. This trip will be Epic. Difficult at times, but impressive and very great.
