Oh I'm so sorry about that! I would have probably been freaking out! Thank goodness I'll let the airlines ruin my luggage! 
I especially love reading your TR because you are staying where we will be in just 11 days!

Oh my, thank goodness no one was injured. How scary! I wish you would have posted this yesterday because I put one of those mickey straws from POR in the dishwasher last night. Needless to say, it is no longer recognizable as a mickey straw. We have had them since last sept. and I always handwash them, I thought oh it will be fine in the dishwasher. Good thing we'll be back to the world in August. Great installment, the cartop mishap was worth the wait.
Subscribing and can't wait to read more! We were there - POR AB 05/20 - 05/30 so I kept looking for you 
I'd read your pre-trip reports and was hoping to see you. Think I may have seen your van - were you in a silver Honda? - saw the Rock Hill, SC plates and told DH - "I bet that's the 5 J's!!!" 
We were in an Explorer with the back windows written on - "Headed to see the Mouse!", etc. - in case you saw ours in the lot!
So sorry about the luggage - thankful no one was hurt, clothes intact and that it didn't damper your hotel arrival excitement.

Sorry to hear about the luggage mishap, but luckily no one was hurt. I would always be nervous when we had to use the top carrier for our trips, but with three kids, it is sometime hard to fit everything inside the vehicle. My DH is so not into car trips anymore, but I enjoy them.
Can't wait to hear more, I enjoy seeing the pictures from POR, one of my favorite resorts. I hope you and your family loved it too.

Wow! 
It's a miracle that other mini van didn't roll.... glad no one was hurt!
(Every good TR starts off with a little melodrama, though!) Hope the two "sickies"
felt better soon.
Looking forward to more!

and I need to get her some new luggage for that. Hopefully it'll survive! How exciting that you'll be at POR soon! Take me with you!Sorry I was a day late! That stinks about your straws. Glad you'll be able to replace them soon! Glad you're enjoying the TR.
I bet we saw each other LOL MIL's minivan is a green Dodge Caravan with a big Jesus decal on the back window. We were parked beside a white Hummer most of the trip (DH's "other" carSubscribing and can't wait to read more! We were there - POR AB 05/20 - 05/30 so I kept looking for you

I don't mind roadtrips too much, as long as we have plenty of actual vacation time that isn't eaten up by driving. I love POR too - it's so peaceful and beautiful.Gotta love the drama hehe!Wow!

Thank you!
It was very scary and I don't ever want to experience anything like that again. We were very blessed though, that is for sure!
Oh that stinks about the tree. Were you able to recover it or did you have to get a new one?

I hope I got everyone! I think I did!
Things have been crazy here, as usual. The boys decided to skip VBS this morning which makes me kinda sad. I usually help out or teach, but I am not doing anything this time, since I had no idea when I'd be working or anything when the volunteer signups came around. I feel kinda sad about that too. I love helping with VBS!
Anyway, we've had some pretty brutal T-storms the past three days that are supposed to continue all week, so I've been hesitant to have the computer on - don't want it to get zapped! We had huge hailstones today too. Scary!
I've started the first AK day in the parks installment and hope to finish it soon. Jessica leaves in 10 days to go spend 5 weeks with her dad in Buffalo. So I'm trying to spend as much time with her as I can. Yesterday both of my boys were on playdates after VBS, so Jess and I had lunch at the Olive Garden and went to Hobby Lobby for a while. That was fun It's so hard when she's gone, so I am trying to cram as much mom/daughter time in before she leaves.
So forgive me if I'm slow in getting the next installment up. I'm shooting for this weekend. TTFN!
