I live at the Jersey Shore. No, not that God awful MTV show, but in central New Jersey very close to the beach. And today I have to make a trek out to Long Island, for a party that starts at 1:00 in the afternoon. Thankfully, the ritual of getting everyone ready in the morning fell upon the wife... I, on the other hand, went to pick up newspapers for my wife's coupon addiction and get the last minute wrapping paper and card. After performing our last minute preparations, we were only an hour behind schedule for our 3 hour trip. My conclusion for today's trip: No matter how much you prepare the night before, when you have 3 kids you are never going to leave on a trip on time! Oh, and Long Island really is long! God I love family road trips. Thank god for blogging!
So we ended up only being about 15 minutes late, despite our late departure and traffic. Just goes to show that being fashionably late is the way to go!
Traffic on way home, well that was a different story...
