Say what???

That's right. Kacy did the unthinkable. He took Zachary and Kona all on a road trip to California all by himself. Let me make the enormity of this task clear: Zachary has a tendency to shriek for HOURS in a car seat and Kona howls along with him in a panic. Five minutes of these shenanigans is enough to get anyones panties in a bunch. But 13 hours? Was this really a good idea? (Disclaimer: Kacy is going "Lesley, it was YOUR fishbrained idea!!!")

But why stop there? Instead of taking the straight shot down the I-5 to get it over with as quick as possible (as I suggested), Kacy decided to take my bad idea and run with it.

He decided to take the "scenic route". Yep. Traveling down Highway 101 and several obscure and even more curvy roads all the way into California.

Now, in typical Kacy fashion, his intentions were golden. I'm sure that Kacy had visions of himself skipping through the magnificant rainforests and redwood groves found along the 101 with one very amazed and enchanted Zachary looking on in delight.

But also, in typical Kacy fashion, things did not go according to plan. After all, why settle for miserable when you can have hell?

Kacy left Tuesday morning bright and chipper. Eight hours later I decided to give him a call.

Me: "Hey, how's it going?"

Kacy: "WHAT?" WHAAAAAAA WHAAAAAA WHAAAAA WHAAAAA

Me: "HOW IS IT GOING???"

Kacy: "I CAN BARELY HEAR YOU! YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SHOUT!!"

Me: "JESUS! HOW IS IT GOING?!"

Kacy: "Oh, Zach has been pretty uspet." UGGGGGG WHAAAAA UGGGGHHHH WHAAAAA

Me: "How long has that been going on for?"

Kacy: "2 hours 23 minutes and 35 seconds."

Me: (as I sit in my blissfully quiet house leisurely sipping wine while reading gossip columns) "Bummer".

Kacy: "Yeah... and the dog is wigging out too....and I've had too much caffeine." WHAAAAAAA WHAAAAAA WHAAAAA WHAAAAA

Me: "What do you think is wrong with him?"

Kacy: "HellifIknowHedoesn'twanttoeatHisdiaperiscleanandhe'sbeenburped." UGGGGGG WHAAAAA

Me: (trying to change the subject) "So, did you get to see any rainforests?"

Kacy: "Yeah"

Me: "Well, how was it?"

Kacy: "Zach screamed the whole time. Ruined it for everyone within two miles. Oh, and the dog got drenched. So now the entire car smells like wet dog."
.....

And so it went. Three days later, Kacy did make it into California in a state of stupor with Zachary and Kona. Zachary has recovered nicely and is all smiles again. Kacy is still sleeping. :)
