About a year ago, as I've said before, the reason I started this blog, Marc and I loaded up a huge car with all sorts of crap and of course our two little angels and headed cross country. It was really fun. Today, sadly, Marc will not be joining us for this years road trip endeavor. Instead it will be Lisa and I, our combined five children, and her dog (not mine, thank the lord). We will only be going three hours, up to the lake to visit Christina and her three children. They have been there all summer. Only one aforementioned visit home that included a lot of martinis and a Jonas Brothers concert. So we miss her. So a few days ago Marc and I were talking about it and he asked me, "How many boxes of wine do you think you three will go through in those 3 days?" Hmmmm.... Funny, funny boy he is. Really I think it's like some sort of algebraic equation. Now by the time algebra and calculus came around I kind of lost interest in math. Which truthfully, I can't remember in my adult life when I would have needed to know either of those things, until, maybe now. And only if I really wanted to know the answer to the question, which I don't. But for conversations sake, I think it would go something like this.
3 hour car ride x 5 kids (1 dog) 4 kids are boys (loud, somewhat smelly boys) + 3 more kids ( 2 of which are boys) (1 more dog) x 3 days + knowing we have another car ride home = x I don't know what the answer to that is, I'm thinking, maybe 15.........

I'm not totally sure about this but I beleive the same company that makes boxed wine now sells it by the keg.I have crunched the numbers several times and I think the correct answer is googliplex .
LOVE YOU GUYS HAVE FUN
LOVE ME
The correct answer is 3. Put the kids in front of a TV (safely away from the lake), give them 3 boxes, grab your chairs, head down to the lake with your Cosmo-filled thermos, and call it a day. That's a stress-free weekend with the kids. If only our parents had figured that out, then maybe we wouldn't have driven them quite so crazy on vacation. Maybe I wouldn't have even noticed that ketchup pack.
I dunno. I kinda think 15 seems a little low myself. :)
