European Vacation

Office Knight and I are in the same family. I have an important story about our most recent family vacation, which was actually a year ago. I'm not gonna give you a play by play of the whole trip because that's boring rather I'll run down the list of the some of the most foolish moments in my entire life:

1. The fancy Peugeot rental is too small for all of us and our luggage and is a stick shift
2. Joanne (our other sister who works with toys) loses her luggage for about 2 hours
3. We get lost for about 3 hours
4. Office Raider offends all of Portugal by trying to use her Spanish to communicate
5. We almost roll into the ocean when trying to get up a 90 degree hill due to rusty stick driving skills
6. Office Raider whimpers as we almost roll into the ocean
7. Office Raider's mother tells her to shut up repeatedly and then kicks everyone out of the car
8. Office Raider's Father's retina becomes detached and can't join the family fun
9. Office Knight tries to pants office raider and gets smacked
10. It is concluded that violence may be a more effective strategy for conflict resolution
11. Ruby gets yelled for not informing Office Raider about an insect resting on her

At the conclusion of the journey to Portugal, I realized some major things about my travel preferences. I announced that my next adventure would be a well organized, highly commercial trip where everyone gets an itinerary and a hat.
