When google maps tells me a family roadtrip is going to take 2 hours, I mentally add another 2.5 hours. And that's just on-the-road time. Actually getting out of the house and on the road for a trip that lasts for more than 2 nights with the chickabidees is, well, as husby once remarked, "We're a thundering herd of snails!"
So that's to say I've learned to relax a little about "getting there," and try to make the journey to and from as much a part of the vacation as the destination itself. To that end, for our weeklong trip to the Carmel coast, Em and I made a nifty berry picking pack---actually, it was for the the u-pick berry farm stop on the return trip home at the
end of vacation. How funny it felt to be planning so far in advance! We took a standard milk carton, covered it in leftover shelf paper (the sticky kind), tacky glued on burlap strips for straps. We first saw the idea for this
here.

Voila~Heading Home From Vacation !
After a leisurely amount of time picking berries on the way home, there were enough berries to make a dozen jars of jam when we got home.
All in all a delicious way to end a trip!
