It's that time of year again folks! That's right, the Craig family ROAD TRIP!!!
This years destination Kentucky. Its My mother(the driver), My father(the passenger/ map reader), My 3 Brothers(the pests, lol), and I, all getting settled in our minivan awaiting to travel the open road. Our luggage piled so high in the back it reaches the top of the back seat. All us kids bringing bags of activies for the trip: CD players, notebooks, colored pencils, coloring books, regular reading books, etc... and of course you can not forget the huge cooler of drinks and the big snack bag every Craig family vacation has to have.
Now that everything is loaded and everyone is buckled in we can start our adventure on the open road. OH wait but first the traditional music that goes along with every road trip we take. ON THE ROAD AGAIN by WILLIE NELSON is the first song played every time we take a road trip. What fond memories.
AS we are driving along the first leg of our journey goes rather smoothly, everyone listening to his or her own music, minding his or her own business. But as the trip get longer you start to hear things more like this, "She's looking out my window", " MOM, He's touching me", "Are we there yet?", "I gotta go to the bathroom", "How much longer?", "Can you pass the Chips?" That last one coming from my father.
Once arriving in Kentucky we went to Mammoth Cave National Park. There we explored underground caves that were amazing and hard for one to describe. These caves were cold and damp, it was absolutely a sight to see.
Now, Its time for our long journey back home. "Are we there yet?", "I'm hungry", "MOM, I have to go to the bathroom". All after a nice song by WILLIE NELSON of course.
This was a nice family vacation and there were many more than followed it, It was tough to decide which memory to talk about, but this one took the cake.
