The Best-Laid Whines.....

I knew Hubby would want to start home a day early (we always do), and I was okay with stopping halfway again at the same state park where we stayed on the way to Florida. I was wary, though, because I know him well, and I knew that when we got on the road he would start suggesting that we just go the whole way home, effectively cutting our vacation a day short (we always do). I was prepared to argue that we shouldn't tire ourselves out with a long drive, that we had groceries for tonight, that we didn't really get a chance to explore the park very much when we were there Saturday, that it would make the drive home tomorrow much more bearable, yada yada yada yada yada.

I was prepared for whenever he brought it up.

It all went to hell, though, when we stood outside our motorhome this morning, gazing into the creek, and I blurted out, "What do you think about just going all the way home today?"

It is good to be home. And now he can play in a golf tournament that he was going to have to miss tomorrow morning. Don't tell ME about ulterior motives.......

That just illustrates how couples eventually start morphing into an amalgamation of the two.

Are you going to start golfing too?
LOL!
