I'm unable to consume enough caffeine to prepare me for the upcoming reunion. Did I mention in my previous entry that I'll be flying into Spokane and then driving back to Seattle the same day? Did I also mention that on the drive back, I'll have my older brother, sis-in-law, their four sons (ages 3-10), and three cats in the van with me?

Hello? Are you still there?

Yeah. I know. I'm completely insane. But I'd do it all again if it was the only option I had to bring my family together every now and again.

Thing is, we haven't really planned anything. I don't know where to take my family. They say they just want to wing it. That scares me a bit because.. What if we can't agree on places to go? What if some of us want to go out, while the others don't?

I just don't want anyone to be upset or disappointed during all of this. But.. there is a surprise in store for some of them. So hopefully that will make it all worth it.
