We spent this past Saturday on a crazy road trip which reminded me how family is important and Ryan is terrible in the car.  Saturday afternoon we left home for Tarrytown to celebrate my cousin Bobbi’s 16th Birthday.  Having just spent the week preparing for Ryan’s 1st Birthday party, it was important that we spent this monumental occasion with family.  You only turn 16 once, of course.  Ryan cried the entire 2 hour trip which turned into 3 with frequent stops.  We even lost our only bottle when Jenn forgot she put it on the trunk of our chariot. That was extremely unfortunate.  We arrived around 5:15 and had a good time with family and friends until Ryan decided around 7 that it was time to go home.  So, after an hour and 45 minutes we packed up the family wagon and left for home, in a terrible rain storm.  So, after a trip like that, you really think it was time wasted.  Then, you see pictures like this one and you realize that a little time for a life-long memory seems worth every minute of frustration.
