A Mother's Day Journey

I had grand plans of writing up a wonderful Mother's Day post about... well, probably mothers I guess. Then, I didn't get it done before Mother's Day. Then, I sat down to the task on Mother's Day only to discover that we haven't taken a single picture on the nice camera since the last post. I did realize however, that I have a whole treasure trove of previously unreleased material locked inside my iPhone and Angel's iPod Touch. I spent a good while curating the material and transferring it to various more useful locations (my computer and YouTube). Then, I spent the rest of Mother's Day with the mothers in my life. Then I had stuff going on for a few days. Then, I sat down to write it again while Angel was at book club but blogger was down (so I played rock band instead). Then, I sat down just now to actually write this worthless information you hopefully haven't just read because I only wrote it as a poor justification of why this is a week late. Then, if you just read all of that I'll reward you with the knowledge that the word curating in the above wall of text is actually an unmarked link to some excellent bonus material that all the people who, like I would have, skipped the massive block of run on sentences to view the pictures and videos won't have the pleasure of viewing. Then, if you did read all this and viewed the bonus material you should leave a comment incorporating the word epic. Then, but actually before you leave the comment, you enjoy the other pictures and videos that I have some painstakingly arranged below. Enjoy!

Off we go! On a journey! Through pictures and video! And exclamation marks!
Make sure you're all packed up.

Don't forget the essential, like your glasses.

And your safety gear.

Make sure you've mailed off your taxes.

You could take your bike...

You might not get too far that way though.
Instead, maybe if you practice a lot (He did. For like an hour):

They may let you drive the train.

Just don't let them know about your narcolepsy...

Good times will be had by all!  More exclamation marks!!!!! 
 Action and adventure!


There will be strange creatures!




Drama!


There will be weird cultural experiences!

Delicious Delicacies!

 

There will be, um... tea parties I guess!



There will be Krazy Kousins!

There will be family pictures!

There will definitely be shenanigans!

Now, you may be saying to yourself, "that sure was a fun journey but, it probably should have been like five posts instead of one."  If you find yourself in that boat then to you I say, 'yup (and get out of my boat).'
