Well, Boxing Glove/BG is now known as "Pukey" after an incident in my car today. Yes, he hurled. Carsick. Luckily, I had some warning. Brynna was driving, and he told me he thought he might throw up, so I handed him a plastic grocery sack. Next thing I know...Most of it landed in the sack, but there was a bit of a mess, and we were about 12 miles from Eugene, OR still. So, I ended up holding on to a bag of throw up, with the car windows rolled down, until we happened upon a Chevon. Thank god! Then, I was walking around the parking lot, holding the bag away from me, looking for a garbage can, which I didn't immediately see. This guy who was filling up his truck must have noticed my desperation because he was like, "Are you looking for a garbage can? It's right there!" How did he know? Heh. We spent a little time at the gas station sorting things out, changing Trav's clothes, and then we were back on the road again. Good times.

Once we were on our way, and the car was aired out, I couldn't stop giggling about the whole situation. It was a debacle, but it could have been a lot worse. It was really great to me that Trav could alert me to what was about to happen, and manage to throw up in the grocery bag. He's only almost four, so I was impressed. Otherwise, we would have had a huge mess on our hands. Trav definitely doesn't like big messes, and neither does my car.

Anyway, overall the trip back to Portland was very smooth. It was a beautiful day, and the drive seemed pretty quick on the way back. Tonight, while Mols was at school, Trav and I got thai food and watched a Charlie Brown dvd, which I loved. I am a total CB fan! He got a kick out of Snoopy and Lucy calling CB a blockhead (which is a favorite of mine too). Tomorrow, I think Trav and I will have lunch with Mols, and then head over to Bryn's for pool time, since the forecast predicts hot temps. In the evening, Mols, Trav and I will have some qt before I head back to Seattle Thursday morning. Vacation is wrapping up.

This entire week flew by. I've loved spending time with the family. We had a wonderful day at the lake on Sunday. Trav and I swam in the very cold Lake of the Woods. The forest there smells so incredibly delicious, and we just enjoyed the hours by the water. I should have a few pics to post for family and friends soon.
