After over 10 hours in the car...

... my 13 year old said, matter-of-factly when we stopped the car in our driveway this evening:

"I like car trips!"

I was sooo happy to hear that and promptly replied, laughing:

"Of course you do! We raised you doing long car trips since you were a baby!"

(and meanwhile I felt very very self-congratulatory, all that driving and traveling long distances both in the U.S. and in Brazil with my parents paid off! ;-)
