Traveling to Paris

Today, Sunday, we planned to have a leisurely morning and head to Paris in the afternoon. We were amazed with how quickly we all got ready, and had the car packed up and ready to go by noon.

As soon as we were all loaded up and had the house locked up tight we hear, "Rick, please tell me you have the keys." The answer came and you guessed it, "Nope." That's right we were all in the car, but the keys were in the house.

So, we decided to use anything we could find to stick through the mail slot to open the door. For future reference, you probably won't find Lock-Picker Barbie on the shelves next Christmas. After a while Rick realized that one of the doors had not been locked and he was able to go in and grab the keys.

We were off, only 20 minutes behind our original plan with Casey behind the wheel. The rest of our trip was pretty uneventful and we arrived safely in Paris. I know we will see some wonderful sights and have a great time...I'm really looking forward to it. But, if you ask me it's these stories that make adventures with your family and friends all the more worthwhile!
